Well this is what Reagan was rejecting, historical materialism.

Or SRS Theory or whatever

Wouldn’t he be defending it?

That theres a material end to history?

Which is already decided

Communism in the case of Marxism

Reagan was not a determinist, was he?

Moreover, isn't idealism incompatible with determinism?

He quoted Churchill being a hard determinist

Im not a hard determinist

But I am a determinist

Pretty sure Churchill's statement is anti-materialist

And therefore anti-determinist

Churchills would be hard determinist, but idealist

A typical protestant view

Evangelical

Oh wait misread.

This is literally just a statement on determinism not materialism

Here is the speech

It seems to have an idealist bout however @Signia which i believe comes from Churchills christianity

At any rate, on determinism

Quantum mechanics suggest otherwise. That reality is a set of likely outcomes via mathematical probably

Yeah but there’s no metaphysical basis for believing that about the future

And although this SEEMS be behave in deterministic chaos on the large scale, this is not true on the fundamental scale, and we have no clue what tiny randomness would change

Which is why I’m a soft determinist

Randomness is impossible in metaphysics

Its a dumb concept

If we want to remain within logical boundaries

Which is a meta ethical discussion. Ought we abide by logic and reason?

Quantum physics operates within random probably, quantum physics is the fundamental nature of the universe, and these small things make the big.

This belief goes against my meta-ethics

Randomness is indeterminable

And thus illogical

And unreasonable

We would need to presuppose a system of order that we cannot see, which is fallacious

Are you a vaush watcher @Signia

Guessing from your tags

Have watched a few vids, not really interested

Lotsa cringe in that boy
