I’m not the philosopher that you claim to be. Or the pragmatist. Or whatever. Like I said earlier, I don't fault you for not having an answer as "free agency" is a nonsense idea that has never had an adequate definition. Actually I do have some ideas and thoughts in regards to free will. I’ve been ...

all wise and knowing creator Have you forsaken Mormonism's exalted man and organizer god, and embraced the God of Christianity? The God of Christianity has much in common with the God I worship. From Pi A.I. Here are a few comparisons between the LDS and traditional Christian concepts of God: * Bot...

Chime in then! If I’ve got you pegged wrong, by all means straighten me out. 🙂 Regards, MG Waste of time. Common sense alone would tell you which or the two of us would feel threatened by existence of non-existence of free agency. On the other hand I have to wonder which one of us would feel threat...

From Pi A.I.: Free will and free agency are complex concepts that have been debated by philosophers, theologians, and scientists for centuries, and there is still no consensus on what they mean or whether they even e...

I don't always know if I understand myself. Lol. I think that for all of us that places limitations on limitless free will. Morley had asked earlier what percentage of our lives is operative/controlled by free will. I felt like shrink wrapping it to a percentage is kind of hard to do. So many diffe...

This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi A.I.. Here’s what I got: Someone else here with more knowledge and expertise than me might be able to elaborate on Laplace’s Demon but to me it looks like the “hypothetical being” could be referred to as God. In and thro...

Within a system their is an element of free will in that frame of reference if you will. But to an observer outside of that system, the free will isn't there because you can see the outside elements that come into play.. This is interesting. Some won’t like this but I plugged your statement into Pi...

There is this presumption that yours is the better way when your proof is lacking and has as its basis feelings, not facts and analysis. Then you push it on everyone, like your selling something, just like a missionary would do. I disagree with your analysis and conclusion. In this thread as it has...

You are the best evidence against the existence of free will.

Well, that’s deep. C’mon, Res Ipsa, you can do better than that.
