Subject: Re: Syamsu on Free Will

You appear to claim that emotions (which is a word used to describe the mental abstraction of personal sensations) are an "agency", and then to accuse other people of objectifying love and hate.

The mote in your eye is full of alligators.

You really need to learn to read posts before you respond to them. I
never made any claims denying the subjective experience of emotions. I
merely questioned whether they can legitimately be referred to as
'agency'.

And your strange obsession with the holocaust is getting rather
tiresome. The vast majority of discussions on almost any topic make no
claims regarding the holocaust whatsoever, yet you somehow find them all
relevant to this particular subject.

As far as I'm concerned, this single-minded obsession of yours is simply
an attempt to deny the atrocities of the Thirty Years' War committed by
all those libertarians in the Catholic League and the Holy Roman Empire.

I'm already aware you think it is 'a load', since that and your
persistent holocaust references are all you seem capable of posting. If
you want to actually *get* somewhere in a discussion, though, perhaps
you'd like to provide some explanation as to *why* you think it's a
load. One way to do that is to actually *address* the points that other
people make.

Why not start by addressing the simple issue raised at the beginning of
this subthread, namely why you consider love and hate to be 'agents'. As
part of this you might perhaps want to explain exactly how your private
language defines the terms 'agency' and 'subjective'.

And, to humour your holocaust fetish, let me point out that Tomás de
Torquemada was a libertarian and a "creationist" who had never heard of
Darwin, yet still managed to commit comparable atrocities (in nature if
not in scale) against Jews and perceived Jews despite this fact. How do
you reconcile that with your view that Darwin is responsible for all
evil in the world? Or are you lying about the inquisition?

See Mitchell, all evolutionists lie about the holocaust. And any
evolutionist who still believes in the human spirit wisely keeps their
mouth shut in the company of other evolutionists. There could be
evolutionists here who accept the truth of the holocaust, but they
would never dare speak.

I don't play along with your stupid bullshit games, that doesn't make

You are continuously lying about the holocaust by denying agency as a
categorical matter of subjective opinion in relation to the holocaust.

And what is worse is that you said of Heackel who treated agency of
Jesus Christ as a matter of objective fact, that it was not so bad
that Heackel wrote that. You are a repulsive liar about the holocaust.
And this kind of lying, besides the lying about agency, is also
widespread among Darwinists, that what Darwinists do in objectifying
love and hate wasn't so bad. Now Darwinists are lying that all people
are the same, so that they can again spread their lies about love and
hate being an objective matter of fact, without being accused of
racism. Heackel clearly opined that love and hate was different among
the races, but that is not the lethal load of racism. The lethal load
is to make love and hate into an objective matter of fact. And
evolution theory now is as lethal in potential as it was then, because
you all still objectify and refuse to acknowledge the legitemacy of
subjective opinion. Sure enough a few dozen million Chinese could be
killed by Darwinists if the occasion is there.

And note that denial of free will in the libertarian sense is
widespread among evolutionists, led by Daniel Dennet, and evolutionary
psychology. And so too love and hate are made into matters of
historical fact by Darwinists, instead of a matter of subjective
opinion.  There is not a single evolutionist who acknowledges a
spiritual domain, the human spirit, in respect to agency of people. I
would love to be able to point out a single evolutionist who did
acknowledge it, but the fact is they ALL don't.

Failure to acknowledge your insane babble as being relevant is not
lying, either.

Aside your screed being a load of insane babble, the killing millions
in the name of some "god" thingy is okay, right?

One more time, pea brain:  *what* is loved or hated is subjective, the
fact that those emotions exist is objective.  But you are too stupid
to understand that, apparently.

All you have to dio is present some evidence that there *is* a
spiritual domain, in the religious sense (Which is the context you are
using).

But, since you can't, you go all loony-toons instead.

Which is both untrue, but if it were true, it wouldn't meet with the

You keep lying about what "Darwinists" say about "ageny." And of
course, the term you're looking for is "disagree with you." You're
even lying in your use of the word "lying." And, of course, you've
been unable to quote any T.O. regular "lying" about the Holocaust.

Give the relevant quote from Heackel. Also, not that Heackel was just
one biologist who was not taken seriously outside of Germany at the
time him made the comments you *seem* to be referring to, and has not
been taken seriously virtually anywhere since circa 1920, and was not
generally viewed positively by the Nazi, to the extent he was
mentioned by them at all. In short, Heackel is irrelevant to the
discussion, and doesn't become relevant just because he held a titular
chairmanship over a "social-darwinist" essay contest in 1903 which was
won by an anti-racist.

And note the historical association between creationism and racism,
after non-creationist had mostly rejected racism.

or some such. As I recall, you defended the 9/11 attacks, but I could

Your "few dozen million Chinese could be killed by Darwinists if the

recall, a single letter-to-the-editor to a scientific journal, by a
scientist bringing serious, but less dramatic than your lies, to the

drawing attention to the issue, that alone showed you were lying in

So clearly here again an evolutionist who openly says that love and
hate are matters of objective fact. That is the rule among
evolutionists, and there aren't any exceptions.

When you require evidence to reach a conclusion it means you don't
accept the legitemacy of subjective opinion.

See now, Boikat is a real evolutionist, and he genuinely does make the
history of the holocaust meaningless.

I was right.  You are too stupid to understand the fact that I
acknowledged that there is a subjective componant to emotions, and an
objective componant.

That depends on the subject.  Is it something to do with a scientific
claim (fore ewxample), or a taste test of a new style of pizza.  But
you are too stupid to understand the difference.

Yes and the exactsame sort of random events can be found in the brain,
otherwise we are back to Dennet's concept of free will, as in
thermostats have free will.

It is also indeed repulsive to me that you have no acknowledgement for
1. the freedom in the inanimate universe, describing it only in terms
of being forced 2. the spirit which decides in this freedom. I much
prefer rocks over your vain selfsuperiority.

And I don't believe you acknowledge free will of people either. You
never make any statement in that regard, you whiff away any thoughts
about free will contributing to survival of organisms in fight and
flight, exactly because free will makes organisms unpredictable. That
is the point of free will, there are alternatives from moment to
moment, and it is exactly this unpredictability that you say is random
and therefore not free will.

That is your insanity that you see freedom as signifying no free will.
The solution to this insanity is that through subjectve opinion you
can add meaning to the randomness. If it is your subjective opinion
that any particular alternative quantum being realized in a rock is an
expression of a spirit of boundless love, then that is not
scientifically incorrect according to creation science. It is weird
IMO, but also wonderful if you would have such a subjective opinion,
it would make you an excellent geologist if your heart is like that.

So you are a follower of Dennet, who conceives of free will as
calculating the best result, as like a thermostat. You're are a liar
about the holocaust, what with Heackel, which you know continue to lie
about (Heackel sold many books in Germany, and he was profusely
praised by Darwin who also considered love and hate to be a matter of
fact), and with your denial of the legitemacy of subjective opinion in
respect to agency. This is already proven reasonably, and I do not
have to further engage your bullshit to provide more proof.

The subject is agency, who Hitler was as the owner of his choices. Not
the results of his choices, but the agency.

No it isn't.

> who Hitler was as the owner of his choices.

Nobody denies that Hitler was responsible for his choices.  The obnly
thing that seems to get your panties all tied up in a knot is that
people speculate as to *why* he made thiose choices.  Doing so does
not absolve him of the results of his decisions.

> Not
> the results of his choices, but the agency.

The holocaust was one of the result of his choices, and you are lying
abut the truth of the holocaust if you disagree, and that still does
not remove Hitler as the "agency" of the holocaust.  But, then again,
you've said that "agency" equaled the "soul" and therfore the
"spiritual realm", therefore, belief in the soul and the spirit realm
are the cause of the holocaust, using your "logic".

Happy now?

Interesting question: can one be said to be a liar if one's insanity leads one to believe that what one is saying is true? I don't think there's any doubt that Nando is, and has been for a long time, mentally disturbed to some degree or other. I wonder what the verdict would be if he were charged with perjury but found to be insane. (I'm a former magistrate, I think about these things).

A possible verdict could be "A threat to public safety due to mental
instability" would be a fair cop, I think.
