>nice rebuttal argument, loser.
You didn't make a valid argument to begin with because you came to a conclusion by using incomplete knowledge of the subject. I am not required to rebut a conclusion drawn from an incorrect premise.

>Sure, but they can't simply force the consumer to buy the older industry inferior products.
>Taxi drivers can't force people to prefer to use ubber.
Again, nigga, what? This doesn't even make sense in relation to my point. The entire point was that they spent millions fighting the obviously superior product in an exact attempt to do just that, rather than to buy the, then, smaller company and profit from the improvement. Your second statement literally makes no sense and contradicts your first.

>What's the alternative in those shitholes to working for some multinational?
>Most of the time the local jobs pay a shit ton less than multinationals.
And again, your lack of economic knowledge rears it's head. Also, a disturbing lack of the conditions of most factories in those "third world" countries.

I have to assume from the constant spelling errors, the horrible grammatical errors, the constant inaccuracies or gaps in your knowledge, and the similarly poor responses to other that you're either very underaged or some kind of troll.

Christ, you fucking idiots need to read some Rousseau.

>hard determinism is a meme in light of modern understanding of neurosciences and evolution
>People can sit down and use their evolved simulation and problem solving skills to effectively make free willed decisions

>modern neurosciences
>people can use their problem solving skills to make free-willed decisions

nigger what the actual fuck am I reading

You can't just poo-poo determinism by saying it doesn't comport with modern neuroscience (which it does) and proceed to substantiate your claim using terms like "evolved simulation" while shirking the responsibility of explaining how these "free-willed" decisions came to be.

The things you mentioned, like problem-solving skills, have a genesis like all other things in the universe. Also, mentioning things like stimuli (by which I assume you mean outside stimuli interacting with an organism) is immaterial to the case of free will. We are merely discussing whether our responses to stimuli are of our own volition or of predetermined origins.
