Why the animosity toward free will, I wonder? I can see why it's not helpful to neuroscientists. It's not a neuron, after all. It's not a material thing, and so the material sciences don't reckon with it. But why does that make anybody want to dismiss it from reality generally? Is there an assumption that if it can't be studied in the lab, it can't exist? Boy I hope they're teaching scientists better than that these days.
