So why provide three chapters only?
Why not provide all of the chapters, here?
Why does anyone have to provide you with money before you will provide them with all of the chapters?
If what you are doing, here, is not 'for money', then what do you call 'it' when some one will not provide some thing until another provides them 'with money' first?
Why is this all you care about?
1. But it is not all that I care about.
PEACEGIRL: Because that's all you talk about, as if this is my motive.
2. Why did you assume some thing that was completely False and Wrong?
PEACEGIRL: I just told you why.
3. Also, why did you not answer and clarify any of the four questions that I posed, and asked you?
PEACEGIRL: As far as I know, I answered all your questions.

It is disturbing to me because it is preventing the understanding that the solution to war, crime, and hatred, and poverty lies behind the door of determinism.
AGE: This may well be True, and Right, and Accurate, and Correct. But, in 'the way' you are talking about and presenting, here, that will never be 'the solution' to war, crime, hatred, nor poverty.
PEACEGIRL; How do you know?
Because I have tried and tested it.
I also already know what the actual solution is, exactly, which has been tried and tested and which does actually work.
By the way, why have you, still, after all of this time not yet been able to work out how to quote, here, in a way that it makes it easier and simpler for the readers, here?

Not one person asked a question that was related to what I posted, so I assumed they understood.
If this is what you say, believe and assume, then okay.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 12:46 pm
AGE: And, this is just because what 'the actual solution' is, is different.
PEACEGIRL: There are many solutions to ease conflict, but this one is a true paradigm shift that would lead our world to peace.
Obviously if it was, then it would have already worked. The writings you refer to were written some time ago, the world is certainly very far from peace, therefore what you claim is a 'true paradigm shift that would lead to world peace', has not worked. And, in fact does not work as the tests have shown.

AGE: But it is not what people think. Determinism does not mean we have no choice and we are not agents of our destiny.
Therefore, 'free will' does actually exist.
PEACEGIRL: I can tell you didn't read what I posted. We do have the ability to choose freely (i.e., we can contemplate and make our own choices), but this does not mean we have freedom of the will.
Obviously you did not read what I have posted and asked you. Or, if you have, then you, obviously, are 'determined' to not answer clarifying questions posed, and asked, to you

He was very clear in his definition of determinism that it does not remove this ability, but that alone does not grant us the ability to choose otherwise.
it then did not yet understand. Maybe if it lived a bit longer, then it would have come to understand what 'we' now 'currently' understand and know.

AGE: I am not sure how many times I have to inform these human beings that 'the definition' that one or some use in regards to 'a word' is not the 'only definition'.
PEACEGIRL: Definitions are created to reflect the real world. If the definition is lacking in its ability to reflect the real world, it isn't helpful in our ability to see the real world for what it is
Thus why you have not yet, and and "your" daddy did not, see the 'Real world'.

This is a problem with the present definition, which is the belief that if determinism is true, we are nothing more than robots, having been stripped of our autonomy. The only thing determinism removes is our pride that we accomplished our goals of our own free will.
AGE: Which means that any and every goal that comes about because of 'determinism', and, because of 'having choices' and of 'being agents'. But, what 'agents choose' is determined by 'determinism', itself, right?
PEACEGIRL: Not in the way you think.
AGE: What is 'the way' I think?
PEACEGIRL: According to what you just wrote, what agents choose is determined by determinism itself, so if that's what you meant, then the way you think is correct.
And, are you assuming what I think, or, do you know how I think, absolutely and without any doubt?
peacegirl wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 12:46 pm
Determinism is not prescriptive. It does not force a choice on us, against our will.
AGE: But, you do not have freedom of the will anyway, right?
PEACEGIRL: That is true, but the argument against determinism is the belief that we are forced by antecedent events (cause and effect) to do what we do with no say on our part. IOW, against our will.
AGE: Also, where do 'choices', themselves, even come from, exactly?
PEACEGIRL: They come from our environment, but the actual mechanism of making a choice comes from the human brain and its ability to contemplate, ponder, reason, and decide. This ability is a human attribute.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 12:46 pm
Determinism only means that whatever choice we make, we made it because any other choice at that moment was the least satisfying, thus a choice that could not be made.
AGE: But, obviously, the least satisfying choice 'could' have been made.
For example choosing to do what is 'morally Right' might be least satisfying. But, of course, this would depend upon the variables at the time, which, obviously, need to be discussed, to be known.
PEACEGIRL: Whatever the choice is would be the only choice that could have been made at that moment. The variables are what help a person decide if they want to do the moral thing or not. This is the whole point of this discovery because in the new world, a person could not choose to hurt another (i.e., the morally wrong thing) because it would be the least satisfying choice.
AGE: Are you open and honest enough to have a discussion about all of the variables? Or, do you much prefer to just sit in, and remain with, your own personal 'current' belief, here, only?
PEACEGIRL: You can give me examples and I will show you, that under the changed conditions, a person could not do the "morally" wrong choice.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 12:46 pm
If you were given a choice between A, shooting someone randomly without a justification, or B, not shooting that person because you had no justification, could you choose B?
AGE: Just because I might choose one thing in that one and only very specific example does not mean that I could not choose the 'least satisfying' choice in another example, nor even in that example of yours, here.
PEACE: Of course, there could be situations that would compel you to hurt another, if by not hurting them, you end up hurting yourself. But, again, you are judging this book without understanding how the environment changes whereby a person could not find satisfaction from hurting someone with a first blow when he cannot justify that behavior.

AGE: If yes, then no matter what knowledge you have and share you will just 'have to wait' until 'determinism' decides when, and what, goals will happen, and occur.
PEACEGIRL: You are right.
AGE:Great.
And, what 'determinism', itself, might have planned and has set out to happen and occur is present and show your Truly greedy and selfish choices and ways, here. 'This' might have been 'pre-determined' to be put 'on show', here, so that others can learn what not to do, in Life, and to make the actual Right choices, in Life, which in turn will make and create a Truly peaceful and harmonious world for absolutely every one, as One.
Again, 'we' just have to wait, to see.
PEACEGIRL: You blew it. I'm done.
