Free will re-redux

[Laird]

This is the same as many philosophical debates. One starts with a set of rules at the outset, and follows through the consequences. If the rules don't change, the consequences remain the same. A bit like noughts-and-crosses (apparently also known as tic tac toe I've heard). Referenced in the movie "War Games". The conclusion, in the context of that film is '"a strange game" in which "the only winning move is not to play".

An interesting comment, Typoz. I'd be curious to know how you itemise or otherwise describe the set of rules that apply (or are being applied) in this particular philosophical debate - but only if it takes your fancy.
