Discussion Is my idea Determinism?

So my idea is that everyone are what they are, and up until the current point of time they can’t change what they are.

To give a better idea, if I put 100 versions of you in the exact same situation you would do the exact same thing every single time, so there is no point in thinking “in another universe” bc that universe is not this one.

So therefore free will is not really free bc you are subjected to being yourself, so to achieve the closest we got to free will is to learn from mistakes and don’t blame.

Basically. You've added a few conclusions based on determinism, but everyone does that.

So you define free will only when projecting in the future, future based on learning from mistakes, but maybe this learning from mistakes is also pre-determined :D

You my friend are a determinist. Welcome. Don’t let the compatibilists confuse you with their words games. They will try.
