But the pain receptors in my body tell me it hurts. So who told me it hurts?
You seem to be confusing conscious acts [like throwing a punch] and stuff like thirst [which is a bodily function that tells you to drink water] - those are different types of actions
Not sure if you were reluctant to answer my last question.
So in the meantime, I'll try another explanation.
You seem to think that a deterministic domino effect will suffice. Let's understand what that means. It means that, if the species is to survive, blind causality must move the mammal towards food and drink, and force it to ingest this sustenance, on a regular, timely basis. And not too little, and not too much, e.g. drinking too much water at one meal can kill you, it happened a while back to a mother of two.
Fine. Let's speculate that such occurs deterministically/ randomly, often enough to preserve the species. (This coincidence is beyond my wildest imagination, but let's humor the idea for a moment). Did you notice something? No hunger or thirst is needed in this domino effect. There is no apriori correlation between hunger and food-consumption. The chips just fall where they may.
Which contradicts mammalian experience. In real life, there IS a clear correlation between the two. Therefore determinism falls shorts of providing a complete picture of the world.
I'll add 'a priori' to the list of terms you don't understand. There is no reason determinism would require there to be an a priori correlation. This is you committing the fallacy of ignoratio elenchi.
