Not OP here, just curious. Why do people in general think that hard determinism is juvenile? I will admit that the way OP started this thread was quite obnoxious, but whenever I mention that I think there is no free will, I always get the "babby's first metaphysics" reaction.

They said the same thing when the neutron was discovered.

It's true, what the comic says, but why should it change my opinion? The best guess I have is that the universe is deterministic, and I aknowledge that that might not be true, for the reasons the comic states. But how is it "fighting" to pretend I have freewill, when I don't believe I have. How is accepting what I believe to be true "perishing like a dog"?
Oh, I am "perishing like a dog", because I accept a fact that has absolutely no impact on how I live?

While you strive for something more than materialist nihilism

Also, you can be a determinist and still value shit, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from enjoying and treasuring stuff as a determinist.

intrisic value is different
Donald: there's nothing to be recognized outside chemicals
Mickey: there is value in recognizing that chemicals cannot be recognized

Please expand, I must admit that I am not very well read philosophically. What is material nihilism?
