Sam Harris Vs Daniel Dennett on Free Will.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFa7vFkVy4g
Basically involves Sam Harris giving arguments and Daniel Dennett redefining free will like all silly compatabilists do.
Daniel Dennett does the same with consciousness. He redefines it in order to explain it.
His move is "Oh it exists it's just not what you think it is."
Why isn't he a damn pantheist? "Oh God exists, he's just not what you think he is. I call the universe "He" and "God" but really it isn't a male deity I just like to call it a male deity for funsies."
I think labelling something that makes sense with a bullshit term in order to fallaciously seem like you're making sense of the bullshit term should now be known as "To do a Dan Dennett."
I think Daniel Dennett is very astute on these subjects. Of course I am redefining "astute" to mean "fucking pathetic."
