I'm surprised that's gotten so many upvotes. It's just a very long way of saying "Why do people disagree with me?" without providing any reasons to agree. The sudden switch to talking about causal determinism is a non-sequitur.

Causal determinism is presupposed in the concept of human action? Um, no. Belief in free will is not the same as denial of causality.
