maybe you should at least read the SEP article on compatibilism or something before going all "facts don't care about your feelings" on them

the SEP article on compatibilism OPENS BY TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S MAKING PROPOSITIONS ABOUT A PROPERTY IT CAN'T COHERENTLY DEFINE and segues into how really we're trying to make moral responsibility i.e. authority to punish compatible with determinism

ok you read like two sentences of it and misread it even at that. 1. moral responsibility doesn't entail that punishment is justified. 2. compatibilism is sometimes expressed as the view that moral responsibility is compatible with determinism, as it states

even if we accept such a definition and even if we erroneously believe that entails that punishment is justified, what makes someone capable of moral responsibility reveals interesting facts about agency that go beyond the moral implications of it

all of that shit is a lot of song and dance around the fact that we *are going to* exert interference against collections of molecules that are inconvenient to us so we like to make up doctrines that permit us to do so

i don't have to read everything Piers Anthony has ever written to know that he's crap. if these numbnuts motherfuckers had come up with a usable definition of free will that's neither "casuality but let's pretend" nor acausality you would have brought it up by now tbqf

you're just throwing edgy rhetoric all over the place and dismissing half-understood ideas you refuse to get more acquainted with

or possibly i actually studied philosophy beyond the 100 level and have a lot of frustration with the gigantic nodes of bullshit still embedded in it

as far as refusing to get more acquainted with things, the primary metastatic mode of continental philosophy is leading you down the garden path with so much bullshit you forget your own name and buy into it just out of sunk costs, so yeah, i refuse sometimes
