Thanks to this video I'm now calling myself a casual determinist. I'm still not sure if I like it or not, but it does seem like a more convincing argument now. Things are determined due to prior events, circumstances, biochemicals, neurons, etc. I like the idea that we still have choices though. It's just if you make a choice, there's a reason why you're making it. I can understand that. I just don't want to think I'm a slave to my mind. I want to know I have some control over myself.
I don't know whether it is my ideas evolved or your ideas or both, but both your ideas and your video's seem to be tons better then they used to be. I'm not saying they used to be bad, I'm just saying they are getting better and better it seems.
@NotForHire42 I recommend the lecture series "Great Philosophical Debates: Free Will and Determinism" by Professor Shaun Nichols. You can buy it from teach12(dot)com, but it is expensive, so I recommend you pirate it.
@Coughlan616 I didn't say you were saying "Einstein believed it so its true", though I guess I could've been more precise with my language. I just meant that saying "Gee, well would you say that to [INSERT PERSON HERE]" is a fallacious argument unless you can somehow prove that said person is/was not a Fascist and scum of the earth.
@InvincibleNumanist C'mon man he's just a kid.

@InvincibleNumanist Be easy on him though, I heared somewhere he's full of selfhate.

You seriously look like Sam Troughton playing as "Much" in Robin Hood 2006

What we do is determined by our individual natures. What's so bad about that? If that denies free will, then free will would have to be randomness.
