Exactly
Okay, but my exactly seems to be at odds with…yours? And certainly at odds with peacegirl’s, phyllo’s and pood’s.
Mine starts with an ineffable intertwining of the educated and the wild ass guess assumption that in a determined universe each of our exactlys is only as it ever could have been. Given “the gap”.
Peacegirl: There really is no gap that requires us to go back to the Big Bang to figure out whether we do or don’t have free will. This is your concoction. No one is saying that our “exactly’s”could have been any different so stop repeating what any determinist already knows.
Iambiguous: It might be “exactly”, exactly or “exactly”.
Then the part where, in regard to moral responsibility, the ontological – teleological? – nature of exactly becomes applicable to Mary aborting her unborn zygote/embryo/fetus.
As in, “exactly what is her moral responsibility” after it is shredded into oblivion?
Peacegirl: What she thinks is best IS her choice. Who determines what is right in this type of situation? You? Are you the designated moralist? In the new world no one will be judged by a code of ethics because it is this moral judgment that is actually preventing the very thing it is making efforts to prevent. You would not understand this because your mind won’t let you. You’re off the hook.
