So, can someone please explain just exactly what “free will” is such that the question of whether I have it or not has meaning? Every time I see people asking this question, it’s presented as some intuitive, inherently obvious property, but I actually can’t see how the world would be different if I do have free will or if I don’t. I really don’t quite understand what the discussion is about.
