I'm not operating a lemonade stand at the bottom of the mountain.

I think determinists would say that everything is determined in the same way that the last domino in a line of dominos must fall once the first one is pushed. That is to say, the initial conditions at the start of the universe began a causal chain that made it so that the atoms in my brain could not possibly be anywhere other than where they are now.

Please just leave and never watch a video on my channel again —not any of my channels, not any of my podcasts.  I am not trying to recruit an army of morons.

I know you don't realize how stupid you sound: you think you're demonstrating your erudition, rather than your idiocy.  I'm not going to explain it to you.  I'm not going to provide links to earlier videos and livestreams I made on the topic.  I'm just going to ask you to leave.
