    it’s not an analogy. it’s a hypothetical. and in my hypothetical you can see that your proposed causation falls apart. even in your amended version, when do i lose free will?

        so long as i can still choose my own actions, i can’t say that other people’s reactions caused me to act in any way.

          Ok, listen, don’t get it the wrong way, but I think we should stop this back and forth. I’m completely lost in what you are trying to argue here and what your actual point is. No offense, I just think we completely miss each other in our logic. Because I am sure you are a smart person but I don’t see how any of this is connected to my first comment, any of my theses, and to me we are just arguing over some semantics and who’s right over a question that doesn’t exist. So I call it quits here. I’m on vacation as of today and this is getting exhausting for no good reason or goal.
