[MD] Free Will

[John Carl]

I guess that's one way of looking at it, Horse.

But I ask again, one and all, what good does it do to think free will is
illusory?  How does it help us, pragmatically speaking, to choose that
viewpoint?  I have one strong objection right at the top.  Making the choice
of believing free will does not exist, is a self-contradiction because
making free choices is what free will is all about and to freely choose the
absence of freely choosing, seems ludicrous to me.

But then, so much does.

Take care,

John
