[MD] The Quality of Free Will

[MarshaV]

Dmb, 

Within MoQ self as a a collection of ever-changing, interrelated, impermanent, static patterns of inorganic, biological, social and intellectual value in a field of Dynamic Quality, there is NO locus of control and NO permanence.

> Yep. That's what I'm talking about, right there. Why can't "the will" belong to the MOQ's self? You keep saying it can only ever be a possession of the Cartesian self but you never say why. Since the MOQ's self does have the capacity to act freely, in what sense is this not a matter of one's will? The "will" doesn't have to be a metaphysical concept at all. It is simply the name for one's capacity to decide, to make a choice or initiate action. The MOQ does not deny that capacity. It only denies that this is the capacity OF the Cartesian. Instead, it is the capacity of the MOQ's self. This is really so simple and obvious that I cannot believe anyone is disputing it.
