Free Will: a new study, with timed reaction (Introduction)

ROMANSH: AGAIN ... no one is debating that we make choices. It is the nature of the choices that is in question.
As dhw has conceded, with respect to cause and effect our choices and wills are not free. - No need to go over all this yet again, but since you have brought me into the discussion, I will repeat for the umpteenth time that in my view the question of whether or not we have free will depends on how you define it, and on freedom from what. Yes, I agree that nothing is free from cause and effect. But that is not the only possible criterion for freedom of choice. The rest of my arguments for and against free will, and your own arguments against free will, are contained in the thread “A Sense of Free Will: the consciousness quagmire”, 30 August - 28 September 2015.
