>>19755334>Thought is not deterministicIt is, though. Do you think that at any given moment, given the sum of your experience and nature, you would be having any thought other than the one you're having? A higher level of complexity to causality doesn't magically create ambiguity in a rigidly defined physical universe, it just means you personally can't grasp it. And that's fine. It's healthier not to think too much about it, not that you have a "choice" in the matter. Agency is relevant only in the human context, not the directly physical.
Look at OP; you are the die. Your result is caused by the velocity, direction, and spin of the throw, the resistance of the air, the local gravity, resistance of the air, texture and composition of the die, the miniscule differences in its balance made by its pips, the texture and material of the surface upon which you land, etc. A die is thrown and you cannot predict its result because you cannot measure the factors that lead to it, so you call it random. So it is with consciousness. Do you believe that being made of meat rather than plastic puts you above physical cause and effect?
Everything else that you said was of course horseshit, and so I will not even dignify it with a response. And I don't have to prove shit, since the burden of proof is on you to challenge the world that we all experience, and your literal only justification is a faulty premise.
