Diogenes the Cynic wrote:Libertarian free will is incoherent because it requires an infinite regression of "deciders." To say that people only seem to have free will does not mean that they are automatons, or that they don't have will, but that they logically can't choose what that will is going to be. We can control what we choose, in a sense, but we can't control what we want to choose. We will always choose what we want to most, but we have no control over what we will want the most. In order to choose to want something, you have to want to choose to want something, and something has to cause THAT want. Will cannot be self-chosen without a regression problem.
I also disagree that animals or small children can do things that are immoral. I don't see how it makes any sense to say that a dog is being immoral for being a dog. A dog might hurt somebody, but that's no more "immoral" than a tornado hurting somebody.
I agree with your last as children do not pass the demands of mens rea. Latin for evil intent.
I disagree with your first.
There is a proof or test for free will if you care to take it. It proves you have a free will and is irrefutable.
It is based on the premise that if you have a free will then you can give it up. If you do not have a free will then you cannot give it up.
The test just invites you to give it up in a simple way.
