Also, to answer the OP's question: Derek Parfit.
>>7720459
Bullshit.
That's like cutting someone's brakes and saying "see, having control over your car was an illusion".
>>7720473
but it was an illusion caused by having functioning brakes
>>7720482
Still tho. Dennet is a compatibilist isn't he? Isn't he like 'sure, we have control, but our control is predictable'.
Also, read Parfit. He's like the Spinoza of our time. My favourite Parfit argument is "you should care more about the suffering of someone your age in the present then the suffering of you as an older man since in terms of a pure physical description of reality you have more in common with someone else your age than yourself as an old man."

I'm afraid your missing the point.
It's that the brain behaves predictably and according to a set of rules. You have no control over these rules, they are just there.

Umberto Eco is one of my main inspirations, would love to meet him someday

William Gass, of course.
>>7720774
Yeah... Even if you lean right, he's still reading all the fucking news and talking about it. We all know anarcho-syndicalism isn't going to happen. I am going to cry like a bitch when he kicks the bucket.
