[MD] Freedom

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Craig]
If I don't pull lever A, the train continues & runs over innocent bystanders.
I don't see how "chance, probability, chaos,?unexpected consequences, etc." are
necessary to make my action free.

[Arlo]
If there is never a chance you could pull a different level, or not pull any
level, or pull both level... in other words, if there was 100% certainly that
your action would occur, then you were never free to choose otherwise.

Freedom depends on the possibility of uncertain outcomes. Without that, you are
just an automaton.

This is not to say that in some situations the probability of one response will
never near 100%, it very well might. But it can never achieve absolute
certainty, or else freedom is destroyed.
