@St_Rev Can only get the first page, but: They describe two answers to the problem, "realist" and "fearful". Realist requires "free will" -
@St_Rev So the answer to the "paradox" is just that of two contradictory answers, one is wrong. -
@GrumplessGrinch It's that the language obscures an inconsistency in the framework; make it explicit, and there's no paradox. -
@St_Rev I agree there's no paradox. I still don't understand what two things are inconsistent. -
@St_Rev Sorry. You're not frequently wrong about these things so I quite want to get to the bottom of this. -
@GrumplessGrinch I don't have anything more to say on the subject, sorry. -
@St_Rev Fair enough. - 3 more replies
