Discomfort? I've been describing the ways in which it is nonsensical to me, not discomforting. From what I know of the subject, and from my own experience...they seem to be the same thing Benny. Things that are real to me are real in the way that I experience them. Everytime I consider something outside of my own frame of reference, and discover that there are differences between my relationship to something and some other things relationship to something, physics and biology offer me an explanation as to why.
I'm afraid that you don't get to declare a fact, so the question.."why is it different" again....beyond the explanations offered thusfar..seems non-sensical to me. What I "think is real" is a function of my biology.....I've never been one to sweep things under the rug, I like explaining them. You haven't found an example of anything yet that, to me, is lacking in explanation on that count. Nor have I ever shied away from giving you the mundane biological or physical answer.
If you don't care whether or not free will is "really real"....then whats the point of asserting it, whats the point of having this discussion...why ask questions about it? The truth of the matter is irrelevant to you in a way that it is not irrelevant to me.
