It's not about an unwillingness to choose. Stop using that semantic crap.
Quote:It's merely about having chosen one over another, because in the end choice is directly tied to free will. So long as you have the option of choosing one over another, your free will is intact.You didn't have the option of choosing b in the a or b choice. You could only choose a. That's what you will do. Where is the freedom tied directly to that?
Quote:You're unnecessarily twisting the argument backward for your own benefit, and it is unbecoming at this point.Technically, this is for your benefit, so you're on the same page as people who posit that certain futures pose problems for free wills. We've already seen one way in which wills or choices are not free in the face of a certain future. Between the options of a and b..you can't choose b.
