Okay, I'll go point to point, and try and understand what you meant in that post, that you think I'm ignoring.
This is simply false, as a statement, so I won't treat it on it's own.
This is fine. Sure. My post works fine within such a structure.
True. But making choices requires that one accept that one doesn't know what the future is, nor does one know what one's decision will be. It requires the use of "if... then" thoughts, or counterfactuals.
So, nope, not ignored, just irrelevant.
Emotional dismissal, not an actual point.
A good counterfactual should be logically consistent. It isn't the real world, but the real world isn't the only logically consistent possible world.
Perhaps you're making the same mistake as you made with the term "logically impossible" earlier?
Dismissal, not an actual point.
EDIT: So, which of those are you claiming I contradicted exactly?
