We have no choice but to believe in free will.

Why do you believe free will? Any logic, or just emotion? It appears the latter.

"We have no choice but to believe in free will."

Well, I would like to believe in free will, but I have a problem...I am a strong fan of causality.

When someone asserts that he has free will, I translate it into English as: "My outputs are not functions of my inputs."

Very well then...What are your outputs a function of?

Randomness does not resurrect free will; a random robot is still a robot. For similar reasons, Heisenberg does not save it either.

I'd really, really like to believe I have free will. I am forced to act as if I do. Only...if you believe in causality, what room is left for free will--excluding randomness and uncertainty?
