Admittedly, I've held to epiphenomenalism myself |
I'm not familiar with your camp, but I am assuming here you are a determinist. How would you say you typed your post? According to your theory, you didn't decide in your mind to tell your fingers to type on the keyboard. Your fingers typed and then told you about it later. So, would you say antecedent factors caused you to type that post, and you had no free will or option about it at all?
