Actually, it's a lot simpler:Well said.
To be honest, I think people might be over-thinking this. There IS no right or wrong answer. The belief in free will alone boils down to many different relating factors. You can present as many examples of free will as you like to support your belief, but no matter how much you say, the other side will match it. You can't win, you can't lose. It's as simple as that.
I spent a lot of time in college and the bottom line with philosophy is that somebody can always "prove" thet there is no such thing as reality, all knowledge is just an assumption, blah blah blah.......
And as I said to a professor once:
Sure, but how does that help you when you have to do a tune up on your Volkswagen?
All the crap about free will is just a continual exercise to prove that nobody needs to take responsibility for anything.
Know where that gets us?
HINT: take a look at what's going on in Washington DC today.......
When morality is all "relative", there's no need for morality at all.
