Individuation (philosophical) is fundamental to Free Will & Determinism. The disproof of free will offered by determinists eliminates the individuated state: 'self'. However, it also eliminates all individuated states including 'cause' and 'effect'. Which invalidates determinism.

i agree except for the ego approach to doing away with determinism(i argue 4 freewill not against determinism). either way stefan says the 'self' is in the brain, which is biological, which is determined by genes, which is determined by envirmnt., and i ask where is the chooser?

It's a Threshold/Grouping problem. To designate something we arbitrarily distinguish it from the rest of the universe, creating a subsystem: a pot, human, etc. Now, it is 'self caused' inasmuch as we isolate/bound it. Humans are no different except we actually are the subsystem.

interesting. now im gonna use the ego in psychological terms... i know the function of the ego as a function to discriminate between events, objects, etc. so that choice can be possible in the first place. ego creates time, time creates conflict, conflict creates choices.

Every country needs to sort its own problems out. It might be painful but every democracy went through it as far as I know. We are all at different stages in that.
