The Free Market and Free Will

I would say that describing the symptoms doesn’t define the disease, or in other words, describing the effects doesn’t define the cause. Simply because B is a certain way doesn’t guarantee that you know how A is. Take a simple example: if I saw a woman with huge boobs walking down the road, could I say I know with certainty that her mother had huge boobs? I’d think not. You wouldn’t know unless you saw the mother. Tell me what specifically free will is and how it originates, and not merely its effects, and we will know what free will is. In other words, induction is not deduction.

You seem to be changing the context. I was posting in the context of your claim that willpower - which I don’t consider to be the same as free will - cannot be bound, located, or predicted. As I said before, I consider willpower to be bound and located in the central nervous system. I don’t see how “be bound” or “be located” necessarily connotes deductive proof.

I’ll start backwards. Does induction = deduction? Yes or no?
