*I recently discovered this in my "Letters Saved" folder and simply had to publish it in my philosophy & thoughts blog:*
"Many many thanks to those 33 amazingly cool people who replied to my questions about their advising experiences. Your comments & responses were extremely helpful.
On the free will question, you may be interested to know that the final tally was as follows:
Free will: 16
Hard determinism: 6
Compatibilism: 5 (I was one of these Compatibilists)
Confusion: 5
Ergle: 1
I myself have been working on a new argument for believing in free will which goes as follows:
1) Decide to believe in free will & then take a sip of beer.
2) Decide to believe in hard determinism & then take a sip of beer.
3) Decide to believe in compatibilism & then take a sip of beer.
4) Remain confused or ergled about free will & then take a sip of beer. I think you'll find that your beer tastes MUCH better if you believe in freewill. Therefore we have good reason to believe in free will. QED."
