Theistic Inclinations

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm sorry I snapped at you yesterday Aroura.

It's np.  Sorry I was being all snarky and mean, too.

Oh sure people agree with me lots. But I disagree with 99% of people on SOMETHING and I HAVE to point it out ALWAYS.

...and Aroura is perhaps... the only person.... I can think of... who I don't remember... ever disagreeing with... yet? I don't remember ever telling her I think she's wrong about something.

By the way I don't mean on AF I mean in my life thus far.

It doesn't include people I just met who shared one opinion with that I agree with.

Me and Aroura have interacted quite a few times, of course... and I don't see any disagreement... yet.

Yeah, I don't recall disagreeing with you, either.
That's probably because we are both hard determinist.  ??  But there are a lot of determinist here on AF. IDK, I hadn't thought about it before, but how funny! 

We seem to agree politically too.

And it's not just that we're both determinists... we both seem to draw the same moral lessons from the implications of that fact.

I've got to know tons of determinists over the years... but you're the first one I've known who, like myself, doesn't seem to think the truth of determinism is completely morally inconsequential.

Most determinists who don't believe in free will that I know, including my own brother, say something like "Okay so there's no free will but it makes no difference to our life and we basically have to pretend it exists anyways."

You're the only person I've known, as far as I know, who realizes it does make a moral difference.

Oh and you're not a defeatist either. I guess I've known a few people who understood it made some difference but they misunderstood that difference and became defeatist or fatalist when they don't need to. (After all... if there's no free will then there never was so it makes no sense to stop bothering to try just because the will is unfree, lol. Our motivations and drives are just as real if they're controlling us as if we're controlling them).

But I realize it's futile arguing with the fatalists too somethimes because.... I'm not a fatalist but...





Joke. Obviously I could do something about it but if I was I'd be less inclined to until I realized determinism didn't imply fatalism lol.

Which is an extreme rarity for me. I disagree about many things even with my best friends lol.

I disagree.  You are very agreeable - but there are limits.  It is your destiny to help right those who misspeak on the internet.  Go forth now and clean this place up.  Thank you, masked man.

Hey... I'm not masked. I've shown my face on AF many times. Even in video form twice.
