re: #139 Copernic

If you’re a compatabilisit, like Dennett, then there is no point in you and I discussing free will. You might certainly have any number of things to teach me on other subjects, but we differ axiomatically on free will.

The argument you made was that all human society was evolutionaly determined. If instead what you meant was that it is evolutionary bounded, that’s a truism, but fair enough. Did you mean that it was determined solely by evolution— human conscious thought having no effect, those thoughts themselves deterministic— or not?
