| IIIIITHE1IIIII said: To sum it up: Every single decision you make is entirely based on your personal preference, which you can't overlook. Humans will always seek for the greatest possible amount of profit through their actions, and whatever that profit consists of is based on that very same personal preference. |
I believe the crux of your argument is this: every time someone commits an action, you can always find some motive or desire behind it, such that when they performed that action, it satisfied or achieved that desire or motive. And in the case of two conflicting desires, the one determined to be ultimately the most satisfying will be achieved. Therefore, actions are determined by the most powerful preset preferences, which is decidely not free will.
Assuming that's an accurate summation, I would contend that a person can make actions that are not the ones determined by that person to be ultimately the most desirable. In any scenario given in this thread, one can find a motive and counter-motive. But in none of them can it be definitively shown which was the most preferred motive. Perhaps one might seem likely to be the more preferred, but how could we really tell? And since free will, by definition, can choose an action without regard to its value, we cannot tell if an action was chosen because of strongest preference or free will.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
