[MD] Free will.

[Ian Glendinning]

My position ?
"It" IS NOT illusory.
How we perceive it IS full of illusions - from our subjective
perspective (see anthropic).

Science of the brain (and wider bodily systems) may explain more of
the illusory perceptions of our minds - deciding to act based on what
we "know" - but I don't believe it can ever take away the we. The
causal relation between knowledge and action is no weirder than
causation itself.

Given the complex system of systems (of systems) that must comprise our minds,
I prefer "free-won't" to "free-will".
