Freewill: Yes or... Nevermind

I'm always fascinated by thinkers who assert that man is without freewill. It isn't that they hold such views that amuses me, but rather that if they really do believe such a thing, then why do they bother to tell anyone?

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go and explain to the chair that it is, in fact, a chair.

    "if they really do believe such a thing, then why do they bother to tell anyone?"

    Presumably because they have no choice in the matter.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
