*Stathis*, thanks for your input. I will respond to you in a separate post (plus what's already scheduled for Part 2).
*John C.,* No, free will makes no sense in any context Except the context which *assumes* free will. If the assumption of free will leads to a logical contradiction please point that out. "Free will" is not a key concept, it's not even a trivial concept, its a sequence of letters that lots of people on the internet like to type and nothing more. Unicorns don't exist, the largest prime number doesn't exist, Harry Potter doesn't exist, but it would be wrong to say free will doesn't exist. Free will has neither the property of existence nor nonexistence because free will is pure unadulterated gibberish. I will quote you and address these points in my post for Stathis. But I'll say for now that an implicit and, as of yet, unsupported assumption that you make is that anything that doesn't make sense is worthless. It would be great if you could share why you think that's the case. > Free-will denial is first person denial. Please please I'm begging you, lets not wade back into that cesspool of pointless peepee! John, I would like to extend you the same begging you extended to Bruno. If he made a statement without support so did you in the statement above. It's not at all obvious that Bruno is wrong (as a matter of fact I believe he's right). In order to argue against Bruno's point you need to make an assumptions for which, so far, you haven't offered any support. The assumption is that free-will is completely separate of self and identity so that its meaninglessness doesn't affect the self (as Bruno states). The more constructive reply would be the one that would support this assumption.
