Ayn Rand and her Objectivists - who, in Bob's terms, attempt to tame DQ by
making it as SQ as possible - have a very handy tool for looking at these
hoary concepts, like free will: ask yourself, what in reality (which
includes our relation to it) gives rise to the concept? Why is it needed in
order to understand something?
It's a very useful "razor."
Free will seems to arise to distinguish how our consciousness operate as
opposed to the more mechanical sorts of causation, as with Aristotle's
moving cause.
