      The very fact that anyone thinks anything is almost impossible to reconcile with a fully deterministic view. On the other hand, @SamHarrisOrg's perspective robs us if free will without physical determinism. If some version of the question is worth sleeplessness, that's the one.https://twitter.com/seanonolennon/status/971223011087990784 …

      Those scientist who believe the Universe is deterministic, then do they think no one is ever guilty of any crime? Is there guilt w out free will? Sorry I’m jet lagged. @EricRWeinstein @BretWeinstein

      To be clear: worrying about determinsm comes very close to proving the universe is not deterministic. That does not, however, prove one has meaningful free will.

      That is a misunderstanding. The universe seems reversible, so it is almost certainly deterministic, but that is unrelated to free will. Free will is the ability to act on what one believes to be right (as opposed to act on compulsion). Randomness would destroy intentionality.

      So it follows that if randomness exists at the heart of our biological brain function that free will is not possible (ie I cannot be intentional), correct?

      Our brain is a probabilistic system, which means that it is deterministic with an offset of randomness. By definition, only the deterministic part can be determined by your intentions.

      Intentions are determined by the regulation architecture that gets entrained into our nervous system by our motivational rewards and the models we form.

      "Free Will is the ability to act on what one believes to be right." We've all got a lot of beliefs, what makes specific beliefs operative in the moments preceding an action?

      The attribution of free will depends on the particular framework that is used in making that judgement, and we will often be unable to come to a clear decision. The more integrity we achieve, the easier it seems to apply the concept of free will to describe our intentional acts.

          Maybe I misunderstood your initial salvo. Perhaps, we might start with a definition. How does this new construction [of attribution, frameworks and judgement] track your initial message of "acting on what one believes to be right"?
