Again, please refer to that same comment. I have already addressed the determinist view. If you think you have zero control over your life and everything was set in stone before you were even born, good for you. To me, that is a nihilistic, fatalistic and defeatist approach to life that will only further entrench any inherent disadvantage one suffers.
ahhhhhhhhhh you're so obtuse.
The ability and desire for people to make certain choices, whether or not you think those choices are deterministic, is fucking determined before you even properly exist.
you cannot play a 4 if don't have one in hand no matter how much you might wish to. Accepting that is not coming down for or against determinism. Are you thick?
You've just made a determinist argument and then immediately claimed that this does not indicate you believe in determinism. I'm not sure I can help you here; some education and introspection is sorely needed on your part.
🙄 There are positions between radical freedom and behaviourism.
If I break your legs you can't choose to walk, whether or not you have a self causing free will.
I feel massive contempt for people who think themselves so clever that if they don't see nuance in an argument it means the other party is wrong.
The discussion is about wealth, not walking. If you break my legs that may inhibit my ability to work in certain fields, but it does not completely prevent me from obtaining money.
Sigh, right wing trolls are all the damn same.
"Anyone who disagrees with me on a single issue is a right wing troll!"
No, just people who interact in bad faith why spouting right wing talking points 😘
Please explain how I have interacted "in bad faith". I've argued my position pretty clearly, without resulting to the ad-hominem attacks you seem to rely on.
