I will comment a bit more on Claudiu’s use of Newton as an example.
Newton never discovered what gravity is. Or force for that matter.
He described how it behaves.
To this day, no one that I have watched or read can tell me what gravity is.
Newton was not lying. His formula of the square of the distance ( or whatever it is) works to put men on the moon and probes to other planets.
It describes the actions of gravity with incredible precision.
However, there is nothing in Newton’s work that could answer the question that bugged Einstein and others; what is gravity? Some mysterious force like magnetism?
So an accurate description of “choice” working in this way or that, hardly says what “choice” is.
Indeed, the metaphor of gravity is useful. It really doesn’t matter if one believes in it or not. Or specifically, believes it to be one thing or another.
It will work exactly the same.
It seems to me to be somewhat convolutional to argue a point that one must go from there being seemingly “no choice” to there being “choice” to in the end, “no choice”.
Whatever is actually happening, is happening.
Again, in case some further reinforcement is required;
My experience is the more one posts and reads the better things become.
