Quite the opposite. Arguing free will is tantamount to playing tic
tack toe.
Not the point. The point is that some people postulate the existance
of "free will". Rhetorically, the burden of proof is on the positive
assertion. I can't see, hear, touch, taste, feel free will. It
can't be detected by magnetic fields or radar or X-rays. So how do
I know it exists? (I am especially skeptical because when I observe
people, it's very seldom they seem to be making decisions based on
anything but external pushes.)
