[AGL] free will or no free will

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Ewie,

>Pretty good deconstruction Mike.
If you want wisdom you first have to get rid 
of delusions.  One delusion that should go 
first is that one has free will.

Here's a thought experiment. Driving home
caught in traffic and there being an alternative
route to try and beat the traffic with, one 
decides (believes she decides but is mistaken) 
not to try it. Soon after, on another day, she 
decides (believes she decides but is mistaken) 
to try the alternative route and takes it. 

The phrase in parenthesis is your no free will
view, that something other than her free will 
made her do what she did. 

The true answer to whether we have or dont
have free will is not accessible to humans 
unless by revelation. Your mantra that there 
is a first of all and that first of all is that free 
will is a delusion is something out of a book, 
unprovable, and not an issue in real life, mine
or Michele's.

As Stuart Smiley says "But that's okay. . ."
