Should we adhere to phenomenal conservatism? They don't. Otherwise they wouldn't be free will sceptics. They clearly have an experience like "it seems that I'm not sure if I have free will". — Isaac
I guess I'll have to talk to more free-will skeptics about it. of course, I'll never reject anyone's experiences, they are the expert of their own experiences. However, I will say that I had a professor in learning and behavior say that he doesn't accept free will, but never-the-less he said it feels like we are making choices for ourselves. I'll also like to say that belief does not equal experience. I may experience something to be true, but just believe it's an Illusion for example the
Ponzo Illusion and other Illusions. Ultimately though I'll have to consult the skeptics, and I agree that if they don't have an experience like I said, then my principal is in trouble.
Once more you're denying the prima facie evidence that other people experience things differently to you and replacing it with your rational analysis that they probably deep down have such an experience. — Isaac
again, I'll never claim someone's mental life is different than what they report it to be. they are the masters of their own mental life. however, every single person that is a subjectist I have talked to says they think murdering people for fun is bad, even though they believe that's just their opinion.
let me be clear: I someone reports that they don't have any feeling of free will and if they report that they don't have a feeling that "murdering people for fun is bad". I'll have to change the way I view things.
that being said, I'll like to ask you what your experiences with free will and values are. do you experience a sense of free will? do you experience something like "It seems to me that I shouldn't murder people just for fun"? if you don't experience them, then my principal is in trouble.
