Thanks for your support.


Agreement on the nature of determinism, assuming there
was an agreement, rather than any personal support.


I think your comments are maybe as close as we can get.

But, "how things are" implies as statement of "TRUTH" and
I make no such statement (I can only speak for myself).


I meant to imply it might be your view, not Truth as such.


The statement I make is wrt predictability.


What determines the laws of physics? And in turn what
determines "what determines the laws of physics"?

Can we say that some things "just are" without any causes?
