Wait. What? There’s no point in talking? Why?

What’s wrong with defining terms? Determinism and free will are often misused in the vernacular.

The very fact that you say “alter determinism” means you are not using the term in the philosophical sense but rather in the common usage. There’s nothing wrong with that and I just assumed what you meant to say and gave you my opinion.

Yes, we can decide for ourselves and we can choose one strategy over others, but that doesn’t mean things aren’t deterministic, nor does it mean free will actually exists. That’s all I’m saying.
