npub1traay5jdde50ps7y3mqdullw29a0pncqsg9vy637c8x7uyrwnvsq0wnpqw (npub1tra…npqw) I've always been a compatibilist. Broadly, I understand the project of philosophy to be looking at what's obviously true, and finding that it's not so obvious why it's true. When you've got two ideas that are obviously true but contradict each other, the challenge is to question what we understand by free will and determinism, not just pick one and ignore the other.
I'm also suspicious of the motivations of people who insist we are ourselves just stochastic parrots.
