Comment on Pay Day with demographer Liz Allen: 'Poverty grants perspective that can never be bought'

The ability and desire for people to make certain choices, whether or not you think those choices are deterministic, is fucking determined before you even properly exist.
you cannot play a 4 if don’t have one in hand no matter how much you might wish to. Accepting that is not coming down for or against determinism. Are you thick?

You’ve just made a determinist argument and then immediately claimed that this does not indicate you believe in determinism. I’m not sure I can help you here; some education and introspection is sorely needed on your part.

🙄 There are positions between radical freedom and behaviourism.
If I break your legs you can’t choose to walk, whether or not you have a self causing free will.

The discussion is about wealth, not walking. If you break my legs that may inhibit my ability to work in certain fields, but it does not completely prevent me from obtaining money.
