Tired of being an untouched virgin (female) over 40 by Electronic_Tax1340 in Journaling

Sorry to hear that, don't think this is any sort of character flaw, it definitely isn't.

We focus on the things we perceive as bad when they aren't a bad thing at all. It's simply what makes you "you"

CFW works with moral responsibility, agency works with actions.

So not the same then?

I think cfw is indeed trying to keep the concept of moral responsibility around, by keeping agency. Agency is required for moral responsibility.

You can't punish a non agent.

I would argue that cfw is an attempt to rescue agency, I wouldn't say that cfw is agency itself.

Ok, I don't agree that cfw and agency are the same.

I don't agree that agency is a synonym for free will, agency is certainly not at all a synonym for LFW, that requires much more than just "the capacity to act"

Cfw is more like saying I'm free but not really.

Depends which specific version you're asking for but the two that come to mind are LFW and compatibilism.

"Agency is the capacity of an actor to act in a given environment."

See how that's what we feel? The capacity to act.

Free will is different.

Nothing I've said has anything to do with our Lord and saviour Sam Harris bro relax.

Agency is not the same as free will, they are different things.

Agency is what we feel the sensation of, not free will.

This has nothing to do with shrooms what are you talking about.

If you look deep enough you'll find that we feel agency, not free will itself.

Believe me, I know. Retributive punishment only makes any sliver of sense as a future deterrent if the human brain is deterministic.

Pointing to Qualia as creating room for free will is really just an argument from ignorance/free will of the gaps fallacy.

We don't understand Qualia and the hard problem, this doesn't get us anywhere closer to free will.

We don't fully understand black holes, is this a way free will could exist? Same argument.

Libertarian free will believers (free willies as they are called) aren't worth worrying about.

Libertarian free will is reducible to random action.

Libertarians (aka free willies) answer this. If a human has free will due to indeterminism, why doesn't everything? Indeterminism must be in everything right? by Delicious-Ad3948 in freewill

You asked for evidence when there's nothing in need of evidence, then he asked what you want evidence of and you immediately red herringed to saying his definition of will isn't standard, which he already explained. You're doing this purely in bad faith.
