(July 9, 2013 at 12:43 am)MindForgedManacle Wrote: Also regarding the OP's question: Well if determinism is in fact true, then your question is easily answered: We do so because we have no choice. Your question is faulty because it implicitly tries to sneak in a libertarian concept of free will into the conversation, which is the very thing determinism calls into question.

It would fall into question if determinism provided any reason or evidence, but since they fail their own test of logic- I can safely say that it's wrong.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
