• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Thanks a Lot!

So there I am onstage at the Amazing Meeting with Jamy Ian Swiss, and as part of his card trick he asks me if I believe in Free Will. In the past I would have said "Yes, absolutely!", but after 18 or so months of reading this forum all I could stammer out was "Duh.... I don't know?", causing me to look even more foolish than usual.
Reflecting on my less than elegant response, I realize that I have to thank all of you that have contributed to this forum for making me question all the beliefs I had taken for granted for most of my life. I guess what I said means I have moved up from "Blissfully Ignorant" to "Somewhat Clueless", but at least I'm moving up!
I only wish I had had the presence of mind to say "No, I read the R&P forum, so I know that I don't have Free Will, but I act as if I do!". :D Anyway, thanks again everybody.

Ummmm this is really sad. Clearly you have not read any of my arguments, or if you have you have failed to understand them. I find it quite stunning that essentially very bad arguments can persuade you of the non-existence of that which is manifestly evident. :(

Hey! How's life as a robot?

You should have said: "No! You are made of atoms! Atoms obey TLOP! Therefore, you obey TLOP!"
 
Heh.

But you don't have free will in the sense that who you are is basically from every other past event...
