John, for the sake of the rest of us, it would be useful for you to summarise just what the problems were that you found with the first three steps. I have been on everything list since almost the beginning, and on FoR (on and off) most of the time of its existence, too. I don't ever remember a post from you along those lines, although I do recall several references to it by Bruno, so no doubt it exists, and I just missed it. I'm sceptical of the "hundreds of posts" claim, though. For me, my stopping point is step 8. I do mean to summarise the intense discussion we had earlier this year on this topic, but that will require an uninterrupted period of a day or two, just to pull it all into a comprehensible document. I'm just now reading a reading a very long paper (more of a short book, actually) by Scott Aaronson, on the subject of free will, which is one of those rare works in that topic that is not gibberish. Suffice it to say, that if he is ultimately convincing, he would get me to stop at step 0 (ie COMP is false), but more on that later when I finish it.
