Libertarian Free Will and Moral Responsibility

Think of it this way: The only thing that differentiates a positive charge from a negative one is that they are opposite. There is nothing intrinsic to the nature of the charge itself such that one must be called "positive" and one must be called "negative". We could equally have switched these words. The only thing intrinsic to them is that they are opposite charges, and thus all physical laws remain identical if we only recognize that the opposite charges attract and identical charges repel. This includes the magnetic field as well.

You seem to be missing the point here. The charges take different parts provided that you aim the magnetic field in the same direction. This is scientifically proven.

Take an arbitrary magnetic field. Send an electron through it. Then send the proton and you will notice the difference.

You are, in effect, actually arguing that we cannot separate an electron from a positron, which is quite mad.

There is nothing intrinsic to the nature of the charge itself such that one must be called "positive" and one must be called "negative".

A rose by any other name.

This disagreement has to be sidelined. I'll post the question here:
