The answer is that it's for emphasis. I didn't in that part try to "prove" the conclusion by presuming it."I know I have free will because I make uncoerced decisions" You call it free as a reactive response to people who doubt that it actually -is- free -

Quote:Second point: Yes, there are all these details and so on regarding causality and such, but they're not relevant regarding how I see free will.OH ffs....the details of what and whether will is free from aren;t relevant regarding how you see free will? That's -exactly- what I thought when we began.
Quote:And yes, just sometimes. You can define coercion the way you want, but chances are I won't agree with it.IDK, I can be pretty coercive.
