Steve: I think that is an excellent answer. Rather than saying that the MOQ rejects both horns of the dilemma, I should have said, "mu" (as I have when I was being more careful). The MOQ does not accept either horn (determinism or free will), but instead it says that neither is right, and they're not even wrong. The whole question as traditionally posed is thrown out as based on a premise that the MOQ does not accept. The MOQ replaces this question with, "to what extent are our actions static and to what extent are they dynamic?" In this replacement question about freedom, the term "will" is no where in the picture.
