I want to be a hard determinist but those quantum mechanics assholes say there are truly random events at the quantum level so *shrug*

Ohhhhh, this is why your comment was so rude lmfao. Honestly fair. Sam Harris is a fucking idiot and I’m not a determinist, since quantum events are probably just random (though who the fuck knows tbh.)

I am a strict materialist, but in more of a “everything can be explained by natural forces and interactions, by definition, because we are made of matter and something that wasn’t composed of natural forces and interactions would be completely unobservable and therefore irrelevant” sort of way.
