Also, saying you don't believe in free will, but then carrying on entirely as if free will existed, doesn't count as not believing! :)

@PhilosophyExp Oh OK. Well that does sound complicated! Thx for the reply.
@JayLJeffers believing if you hit yourself over the head with a hammer, it's going to hurt. But complicated for twitter.

@PhilosophyExp ..with me that there is something odd about a determinist deliberating over what to do, persuading others, etc. -
@JayLJeffers Well, I guess a determinist would have to say that it was inevitable they were deliberating, persuading, etc... :) -
@PhilosophyExp ..to forgive me for taking their admonitions (e.g. for me to be a nicer person, to work out more, etc) less seriously -
@JayLJeffers I'm not sure it's possible to reconcile determinism with the idea of moral culpability so as to make forgiveness necessary.. :) -
@PhilosophyExp then one of the key parties in the deliberation being a determinist does seem to deflate the whole endeavor. -

@JayLJeffers If you have a spare 5 minutes, have a go at this (it explores Frankfurt cases, which are relevant): http://bit.ly/H4Ny64 -
@PhilosophyExp in process.. -
@JayLJeffers Cool. I'm signing off twitter now, but fun talking to you. Good night! :)
