Nihilism

[Amarok]

Compatibilism implicitly acknowledges the implications of no libertarian free will the same as hard determinism. Real distinction is in semantics and perspective.

Fair enough, although I don't quite follow you on your "acknowledges implications" remark. 

I don't boast an incredible amount of knowledge concerning the free will debate, but it seems to me that the one true difference between a compatibilist and libertarian is that a libertarian doesn't dodge the Consequence Argument. Compatibilists simply hold that free will is "baked in" to the universe, even if said universe is deterministic. (Just to add, I think compatibilism is worlds more plausible than libertarianism.)


Regardless, there's nothing stopping you from offering your own $0.02 as a compatibilist.

I agree that compatibilism is vastly more likely then libertarian free will .
