“Free will” is one of those concepts in philosophy where I have absolutely no idea what it’s supposed to be about. I’ve read a few works on the subject and they all assure me that everyone is convinced they have it. I think the lesson to be learned is that words and concepts have histories of their own and frequently fall out of touch with reality completely. I think “free will” is like that.
