Determinism
#17
RE: Determinism
@ Purple Rabbit

As I said, I never made an argument defending determininism. I am merely saying that the defininition of determinism is "One possible future", if we're talking about an ultimately 100% laid out future that quantum mechannics can't mess with. I'm not defending determinism at all, I'm just giving the definition, and the one Dennett used in the quote above about how it means there's only one possible future.

So I have made no arguments at all, I'm just defining here, so no I never ignored any of your arguments because I never fought against them or made any of my own....

All I'm saying is that a 100% determined laid out future where the future can be one possible way and "there is only one possible future" mean the same thing. I'm not defending determinism at all. I don't need evidence for arguments I never made or attacked.

It's all very well attacking arguments I haven't made PR, but don't expect me to defend myself if I haven't (at least not intentionally) made any arguments.
