a bit racist. put any other ethnicity in control of the world and it would be the best system on earth.
That's probably the most racist thing you could've possibly said.

Is it like the UK's Fleet Air Arm?

That's pretty fucking based, though. Good for you.

Subvocalisation doesn't harm reading speed. Subvocalisation is present in people who can literally "scan" pages.

because Islamic extremism never existed before 1916.
^

Pirates from the Barbary States were using the Qur'an to justify the kidnapping of American sailors as early as 1802.
Muslims have been using the Qu'ran as a justification tool since there has been a Qu'ran.
Pretty much.

Hell, even before. Mohammed killed a lot of fuckers.

Or eating meat, even though you know it's wrong.

Giving up meat is fucking hard.

This doesn't surprise me. I consider ethics probably the most important branch of philosophy (alongside epistemology), but I'm a pretty unethical person really.

then there's no harm in trying a new one.
That really only seems applicable because anti-natalism's entire premise is built on the basis of negative emotion.

I mean, if empiricism depresses you. . . You're pretty much fucked, there.

If the person without free-will can perfectly mimic free will
They can't mimic it 100pc, the point is that you cannot tell just by looking at them and you have to come up with some method of empirically distinguishing the two.

My intellectual priors tell me it should be regulated by gambling.

But with a rigged hypothetical scenario, yeah.
How is it rigged? The entire scenario revolves around coming up with some method of empirically determining the existence of free will. There are no unnecessary roadblocks to that in the thought experiment.

How can this scenario exist if the thing we are trying to differentiate doesn't have a solid definition, and is hypothetically mimicable?
The point of the thought experiment is to show that you cannot empirically demonstrate the existence of free will.

Couldn't you just ask them to do something repugnant?

I.e. "eat shit". The one with no free will would assumedly follow the order without question. The one with free will would ask why, try and worm out of it or outright refuse.
Well, no, because the one without free will is programmed to act as if it does have free will.

You know, I think I took your comments a little too personally and went overboard. I'm glad you've engaged Sandtrap in a proper discussion, and I'm glad you're willing to learn about the issue. That's commendable. So I apologise for being way too hostile in this thread.

The difference is that the one with free will has greater moral accountability for his or her actions,
Surely that's an unacceptable answer, since "moral accountability" is pretty much as intangible as the idea of free will in the first place. Presuming the existence of moral accountability tells us nothing.

Quote
Free will isn't contingent upon one's ability to distinguish it.
Our ability to make propositions about it is.

Quote
rather bound to a relatively strict set of decisions that we make subconsciously as a result of the sum of our experiences, genes, and environmental stimuli.
To which I'd argue free will therefore doesn't exist.

Yeah, a person with your life isn't going to hurt my feelings.
And an arrogant cunt like you isn't in a position to tell me about my life. . .

Is this a recent thing, or are you normally so insufferably stupid?
