Ok you can have your radically skeptic hard materialist rhetoric. I just don’t take it seriously, and I don’t think you do either. It’s like those people who insist there is no free will and yet go about their day clearly making choices and exercising their free will. If you want to say technically everyone might as well be a philosophical zombie just reacting to things and your internal subjective experience is an illusory phenomenon, fine you can say that as much as you want. In turn I’ll just give up here because you don’t even have a mind that could be changed. I can sit here and claim you’re the equivalent of a void that repeats radically skeptic lines at me. Maybe a sophisticated chatbot or program. Or maybe you’re actually a hallucination since I can’t prove anything really exists outside of my sense. In which case I’m really wasting my time here. | ||||||||

Well I'm a combatibilist, So I certainly believe in free will. I also will accept any entity that consistently acts as if it has a will that it does actually have that. That's has always been my point, treating things as what they appear to be is the only rational approach when you cannot prove or disprove the existence of the property in question. It follows from that that you cannot exclude something that appears to have a property if you cannot prove it doesn't or even prove it if it does. | ||||||||
