    If no free will, no intention. It’s that simple. In strict determinism, every action, thought, feeling, whatever, was predetermined at the moment of the big bang by the starting state and physics.

    I’m absolutely saying that all of humanities creations are “coincidence”. Just because you don’t like what I have to say doesn’t make me stupid. I know what I was describing.

      Why does intention have to be a nondeterministic thing? Can’t people indent to do something, even if they were determined to intend to choose it?

      You’re reading the expression totally backwards. It says absolutely nothing about choice, but the illusion of coincidence. If anything, the point backs up a lack of choice and reinforces the point that humans are full of themselves…

      But given enough humans just faffing about randomly, one will eventually think up and write down “Hamlet”.

      In strict determinism, every action, thought, feeling, whatever, was predetermined at the moment of the big bang by the starting state and physics.

      Determinism and randomness cannot coexist.
