Go fuck yourself, you will because you have no free will so its predetermined you will

Anyways, he's wrong, especially if you're trying form an epistemic consensus on a particular substance or object. Because if that was the case then no definitive answer could be made for its purpose. Essentially, discussion about objects or ideas would just end up being semantic value judgements and nothing would be accomplished.

Yes, all philosophy is just killing language; every philosophical idea is no more than angels on the head of a pin.

>>20344597
You're a retard, free-will is just a meaningless concept, as is determinism. Neither free-will, nor determinism will ever be empirically valid.

>>20344660
You are also stupid. Epistemic consensus doesn't mean anything. Either a statement is true, that is, the statement refers to a thing in the world, or the statement is false, in which case it refers to nothing. It doesn't matter how many people believe the false statement; they are simply wrong.
