No message board is complete without a long thread on free will!
What is free will? Do we have it? How does it work, exactly? Is it hindered or facilitated by determinism or its counterpart, indeterminism? If we live in a deterministic universe, how can there be room for free will? Or if the universe is indeterministic and events can presumably occur at random for no particular reason, how does that facilitate free will?
