Yeah, and not just classical music, but pretty much any area that does not explicitly cause you pain and has some form of positive feedback you can learn to like. You can learn to like running, for example, as I have. It's building a habit. In the beginning I used to hate running and everything associated with it, but by forcing myself to do it anyway, I have learned to like it. Now I never feel like I have to force myself, the desire to run comes itself every two days, I just put on my shoes and go out without any psychological friction.

>I have a suspicion that the arguments between you are determinists are really only confusions and misunderstandings
From personal experience I would disagree. Many arguments by determinists were quite logical and reasonable, they just depended on implicit assumptions that are more likely to be false. Some of the arguments against free will do seem like language games, for example when people say all that we do is created by instinct, and instinct is defined by that what people do, and since we don't have control over our instincts, we don't have free will. These sorts of circular arguments whose content lies primarily in syntax and not semantics, I always try to avoid.

It didn't. You can choose, shape and decide what you want. If you can make it into a more explicit argument against free will, please do.

I don't have to convince you that I have free will, I know that I do. I'm not sure if you do, so I won't try to convince you that you do have free will. For all I know, you could be a low IQ deterministic bugman. It's you who are trying to convince me that I don't, and I'm merely pointing out how all of your arguments are completely retarded.
