Sebastian, Michael, Cassandra, you seem to be side-stepping the central question. It seems reasonable to me that “choice” is an illusory experience in the same way that much of what we experience visually is illusory.
I’m trying to understand where Eliezer’s expressions of certainty that human are capable of choice (rather than the illusory experience of choosing) comes from?
