Hey Portland - you might get what you deserve.

[The Architect Of Fate]

Ok. Insurrectionists is fine. The media is still blowing it a hundred times out of proportion though. One cop died. The sky is falling. Boo hoo. It sucked and was a bad day, but the media's job is to blow it a hundred times out of proportion to manufacture consent to give the white supremacist police and surveillance states the powers they've always wanted.

It wasn't blown out of proportion. They were a group of dangerous lunatics that tried to overthrow democracy based on lies widely believed by the current right. Your attempts to downplay the magnitude of this is absurd.

There is a mix of randomness thrown in there with what decisions our brains make, so not completely deterministic, but if you have any actual evidence for free will, I'd be glad to hear it. I've never found this evidence before, and I've looked for it for many hours and watched many debates on the subject. No one ever presented any real evidence to the contrary.

Without some free will, nothing makes sense in fact it's self-defeating to say some form of free will doesn't exist.

We are animals. Deal with it. Our brains all follow the laws of the universe we're living, human and animal alike. There isn't something extra special or magical in our brains called free will.

Yup were animals with free will and the fact our brains use laws doesn't undermine that nor is freewill mgical and attempts to deny it is doomed to self defeat.
