But the problem is in those words "making choices". It will all depend on how you define choice. I would say they are not really choices. They are determined by brain wiring and chemistry.
But if this was true, the word "choice " still exists. We gotta use it for something, right? I would use it for what a human is predetermined to do.
But the problem is in those words "making choices". It will all depend on how you define choice. I would say they are not really choices. They are determined by brain wiring and chemistry. To tell the world there is no free will is much too great a risk if there is even a remote possibility you're wrong. If the book is already written, no person can have done otherwise. He would not have any real choices to make (especially if you accept an Einstein block universe). No person can be at fault for anything they do. It would raise enormous moral implications.
So, if I understand you correctly, I had no choice in this universe but to disagree with you?
If you are disagreeing with me now then yes, you were predetermined to disagree with me now.
About the moral implications, it depends. I am a determinist and I try to be a good person
