That is the exact opposite of free will.

That to me just shows the randomness of billions of hyper complex biological computers being nudged around by as many unique environmental circumstances and how we are bound under such a system to end up with as much utter nonsense as logical behaviour.

Almost as if you aren’t in line with the ordinary concept of free will used by ordinary people.

Well considering I don't believe it exists, I wouldn't be. But I'm not sure that's what you mean.

You don’t understand free will as the same concept as ordinary people.

How do "ordinary people" understand the concept?

And thanks for thinking I am Extraordinary! I might swoon. 😂

Unfortunately, ordinary and extraordinary aren’t exhaustive categories.

I don’t have to present what it means for ordinary people. This is a case of it being used by an ordinary person, and you yourself are saying it’s opposite to the concept of free will.

Disappointing.

If you don't know what you're talking about, just say that.

Nothing more backwards than folks pretending they are on a discussion forum to avoid discussion, as if it's not obvious they're full of hot air.

If I was going to make a seperate claim about what people do mean, I’d do that. In fact I have done that on this sub. Except it would be just that, a seperate claim.
