Physicalism's Self-Refutation Is as Implicit as Its Agent-Causation Denial (PSIAD)

PSIAD is a two-part proof centered on the concept of genuine personal control (GPC). A concept often referred to as agent-causation and volition. Lemma 1 shows that GPC denial is self-refuting, while Lemma 2 shows that physicalism/materialism necessitates GPC denial. Therefore, this overall proof shows physicalism to be self-refuting. I.e., PSIAD shows that accepting any corresponding counter (by way of compatibilism, epiphenomenalism, quantum indeterminacy, emergentist/nonreductive physicalism, property dualism, arguments from incredulity, etc.)—provably entails abandoning fundamental principles of logic and physics.
