• A Brief History of Metaphysics
    Is some one arguing that verifying an idea makes the idea true? Wouldn't that be called truthing? I submit that truthing is not a word.
  • Free Will
    I really enjoy this argument, but often 'not free will' rests their case on an unreasonable definition. Specifically, they maintain any 'will' that isn't completely in the absence of influence or constraint is not truly free and so there is no free will. Some one will even go so far as to state that a 'free will' must even be completely random.

    I think there is a reasonable argument to made for free will based simply on empirical evidence. I believe myself to have free will in the context of reality. Free in so much as what I believe I 'will' is truly a product of my own mind. I am a creature of habit, emotion, and thought, but these things do not take my 'free will' they simply provide the context from which my 'will' is exercised.
