Worthy of worship, free will?

RE: Worthy of worship, free will?
Star Wars? Don't you mean Star Trek?

Yes the illusoriness of free will is analogous to the illusoriness of the self. That adds to my argument rather than detracing from it.

When you want to deal with my actual argument that attacks contra-causal Libertarian free will from both the perspective of determinism and indeterminism then feel free.

And no you're wrong I totally had a choice in facepalming it just was a choice that wasn't a contra-causal choice. I'm not a fatalist, our choices are part of the causal stream as much as anything else. They are still choices but they are still part of the causal stream.

You keep thinking that you are the ultimate cause to buy a snickers bar and that the environment merely effects you in the moment mate. Keep thinkjng that you can isolate any particular instant away from its larger context and that the buck stops when you conveniently want it to. Go ahead.
