   When Jean-Paul re-met Simone. No doubt they are exploring how well Being can satisfy Nothingness.

   After a certain age every man is responsible for his face. Is Rall’s redemption at hand?

   TexasMan: Pearls can be found amid the mire. Why did he give up?

   Ted: Futility nonetheless. All is futile.

   TexasMan: That makes cynicism futile too.

   Ted: At least it pays the bills.

    A lot of people would disagree. If you would state why you think there is no difference.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but phenomenology is simply the study of consciousness and being from a first person perspective. How can studying the formal structures around us ever show that we don’t have free will? The reason most people hold to free will is because of the phenomenological experience of being able to choose! In any case, I am a determinist that believes in free will (omg!), so why should you trust me?

    So how do you solve the inherent conflict between determinism and free will (this, I gotta hear)?
