>My capacity for language are determined by my physical make-up.
Thank you. Therefore what controls your physical brain, controls your thought and language.
>The abstract product of language
Is still the abstract product of your physical make-up
Even if I gave you the largest benefit of the doubt possible and granted you that your brain actually allows you to peek into some alternative neoplatonic nonphysical and self-sufficiently rational realm... control over your brain still results in control over your access thereto.
You simply cannot argue your way out of your brain, my man.

It is therefore still the case that if your brain (and therefore your thought) are determined by physical events alone, you don't actually rationally evaluate things, but you are simply holding positions that your chemicals force you to.
To rationally conclude determinism is therefore a contradiction. You at best conclude it irrationally by virtue of your chemicals. Therefore, determinism as a position cannot be rationally held.
