Hi all, A person often has the ability to will a choice for what she prefers among available options. She can even choose what she does not prefer if only to prove she has that power. But she can't choose to prefer what she doesn't prefer. Can she?
Are we not therefore slaves to our preferences? We did not choose our preferences, yet they determine everything we do. But according to the MOQ, we literally ARE our preferences. Then WE determine everything we do within the range of available options. Thus the whole question of free will begins to look like nonsense. How could it ever aid in our decision making to determine whether or not we have free will? I see the issue as a trumped up one invented to put certain theological questions to rest. But it is one that a pragmatist can find no use for. Next topic...
