Well I am puzzled by archi's behaviour. I will press him on that, should he return from his suspension.
But having said that he could not have done otherwise.


What really surprised me Archi was that your recent interaction with Graham was totally consistent with you believing Graham had free will. Now I understand that you could not do otherwise, but why would the interaction look like from the outside that you thought Graham could do otherwise?

Just curious.


You seem to be treating the possibility of no free will as if people will behave In simplistic predictable ways. Why would the interaction look any different, whether we have free will or not? You don't know how someone will respond. You don't know how you will react. You have no reference for your "do otherwise" until it's been done, as it is. There is no otherwise, but there is surprise.
