But it's also based on what hasn't come before. So you have free will to choose between A/B because despite all the miles of rails you've trundled down, there is still the potential to jump the tracks and go a route that is in direct conflict with experience, socialisation etc. I may have misunderstood, but you're suggesting that free will doesn't exist?

Hey, it was silent when I popped in, so I thought I'd at least let Andrew know he wasn't playing Zelda into the void. The webpage is open, but behind FM17 and muted

The desire to learn is, imo, instinctive (and we see it throughout nature) and while the facility to nurture and explore may be the responsibility of agents of socialisation to begin with, there will come a point where it falls upon the individual to continue nurturing and exploring, or abandon it. The ability to make that choice will come from socialisation e.g. a kid from the projects who had no schooling, no parenting, will not necessarily choose to get his nose in a book because he's not been taught it's value. Conversely, he may see the impact that a lack of education has had on his peer group and his family and choose not to follow the same path.

That's a terrifically long winded way of missing the point. You state, categorically the earth isn't a globe, there aren't satellites, the earth is only a few thousand years old, without a single, scrap of evidence beyond "Water is flat, innit". Then claim the reality is a far more fantastic state, with domes and ice walls and cellular realities and so on, without a scrap of evidence. So, what we have is reams of evidence and testimony and replicable experiments on one side and, literally, nothing on the other. You drown the nuggets of your theory in long posts that proffer analogies and make arrogant claims about your open mindedness while implying that whoever agrees with the official line is closed minded by comparison. But essentially, when you boil off that detritus you're left with one man arrogantly making baseless claims. We've all tried to reason with you, some with more patience than others, but you are impervious to common sense.

She'll no doubt get a job on FOX or with Breitbart or something. Odious demagogue.

You reject all evidence and proof (that you haven't seen for yourself) of the earth as a globe, but you don't apply that scrutiny to your own theory. This is hypocritical.

There was a fairly self-evident point. There was also a point to my post. Do you need the points explained to you again?

Can you see the point Rayvin was making?

Yeah that wasn't the point Rayvin was making. Can you tell us what point you think he was making?

... Give me my money back.

End of the day Wolfy my man, you dismiss claims that have proof and evidence unless you see it with your own eyes, and yet you believe in something that has no proof or evidence. If you can't see the hypocrisy, I think it's best you hold your tongue.

Perhaps it's better to say a facet of latent intelligence is the apparatus to make decisions. A facet that needs nurturing and exploring.

I've decided to retire from International football to concentrate on my club career.

I'm sure the nurse can help you identify it's source.

Hey, I was happy calling him a stupid bellend, you're the one diverting this into a treatise on the nature of free will

It gives us the apparatus to make decisions. Someone with a genetic intelligence can still make bad choices, and someone without can make good choices.

Yep, that and "Mother of God"

We actually don't. Also, PROOOOOOOOOVE IT

Just got back from getting coffee and some bread from Hale, christ alive the man who invented yoga pants deserves a knighthood. Every yummy mummy/footballers lass is wearing them, and wearing them well.

Christ alive..

No we don't. That's another lie Wolfy.

Is the right answer.

Yeah, that's what I believe.
