To bottomline it: there is a war...it's the same war that's been at play since before man fell out of the tree: the free man vs slaver. The State is a slaver construct: there can be no accommodation with it or the folks who run it or serve it. Proof of henry's statement is historically visible it i...

The effect was, that only made it easier to erase most Brandon references.

True, but it's kinda of apples & an oranges, isn't it. They zap threads that say too much, not threads that say nuthin' at all.

I have no idea what that means.

Really?

What would this person be doing that's different from a person with free-will?

Hell if I know...I've never met one...cuz they don't exist.

Okay. You don't know.

Feels like iambiguous all over again.

Just waitin' for the daesin to drop.

they could say 'I am compelled to assert this as if I am sure'. But I don't hear that often I've never heard or read such a thing come from the mouth or fingers of a determinist. Seems like, over the years, I'd have heard or read such a thing at least once (and not a cagey response, but simply as a...

mind and brain (i.e. matter extended in space) are not the same in several respects; not least because brain occupies space and mind doesn't occupy space. Careful, B: most in-forum don't even believe mind exists as anything other than brain function . You keep talkin' like that you might find yours...

...is about as close as I've ever seen someone get to declarin' themselves an event, and it falls short of fully committin'. And what would qualify as "fully committin'"? For someone to say, and actually live as though, I'm determined, my view point is determined, the very words I'm sayin...

You think that you would get the same results if you made those changes? Nope, and that's my point. If I played consecutive games, with all the elements of the game changed each time, I wouid get different results. In the same way: each conversation with a hard determinist ought to, at least some o...

meh I don't care what his needs are. I don't what his agenda is. I just want him to keep it down , is all. One coded message a day, instead of five, 10, or 15.

The state' is always going to be a fixture Why? If the state as it is does not please you then change it. How? But for goodness sake first equip yourself with the best information! You first. *I have already asked you how small a state has to be before you would accept it. **You had agreed that a c...

I am just pointing out a silliness that doesn't seem to get noticed. Oh, it's been noticed, and commented on, multiple times, in-forum, across multiple threads, by the two or three free willists who post here Ah, yes. I meant by those who are asserting they are completely determined. Yeah, I know. ...
