You're still relying on the truth of two fallacious arguments in making that statement - which is, itself, a complete non-sequitur.
Quote:You might be right here, although I don't think that something that only moves when a force is apllied to it suddenly moves on it's own just because there are more of it.I'm not sure what you're commenting on. I'm right about what? I made no comments to that effect.
Quote:Also it is true that one particle cannot write this message but more together can, however that doesn't mean they have chosen themselves to do so.OFC not. I only commented upon your means of inference, not whether or not our will is free.
You're right on the first one.
I'm referring to what you said: "A particle may not be able to type this message to you. Obviously, a thing made out of particles can. That a thing made out of particles can type this message to you, does not imply that any single particle can."
I saw the connection you tried to make between keeping or loosing an ability when being split up, but I didn't agree with your example.
Although I might have misunderstood what you meant there.
It's not really an excuse but I'm having a hard time talking about philosophy in English. I keep trying though.
