Default Re: My Basic Thought On Free Will

[ QUOTE ]
The sort of freedom Dennett talks about is consistent with us having no free-will in the sense people usually mean,

[/ QUOTE ]

The OP mentioned the need fo a definition which is what is lacking in most peoples sense of free-will.
Free to choose anything is more like a quantum random number generator and could hardly count as "my' choice or any choice.
Constrained in some way by preconditions in my brain doesn't fit any sense of 'free'.

I'm not concerned with the actual mechanism that would give us free will, I'm waiting to hear a definition of it that actually keeps it 'free'.
