        @SamHarrisOrg @AntonDrake "Mind is what the Brain does" - Marvin Minsky. Free Will would be chaos, i.e thought & will divorced from cause.

        So, what evidence DOES the conscious mind show? What is the role of conscious processes in decision making?

        @SamHarrisOrg isn't the #freewill debate a red herring? is there a practical application for redefining the relationship of will & conscious

        @SamHarrisOrg @AntonDrake What is consciousness? You guys don't even know what that is. How can you expect to explain #freewill?

        @SamHarrisOrg @AntonDrake Should we use a more scientifically literate vernacular or is "free will" a useful illusion to keep around?

        @SamHarrisOrg @AntonDrake The conscious mind wrestles with the unconscious 'honest' mind all the time. Thus is truth divined.

        @Eric0Lawton @SamHarrisOrg @AntonDrake using the word 'divined' in the meaning of sorted, sifted and considered. Realise divine is loaded.
