| #11 Descartes used to be, but now he isn't. And Bishop Berkeley's dead, y'know. |

| #10 I must be free, as I used my free will not to read this. It would probably hurt my head. |

| #7 Even if you accept Borders' reductionist definition of humans as purely material, he ignores the insights from complexity theory re: how intelligence can emerge from the interactions of limited parts. He's arguing about a century too late. Ironic that he thinks he's cutting edge. |

| #5 Believe I will exercise my free will to go contemplate this weighty matter over a beer or two. Hopefully, I will get drunk before getting too far into this. As Fred says, I am not free but fairly cheap also. |

| #2 this is worthy of the sleeping child on the toilet graphic. Compared to this woman, I'd say I'm free. Am I "Free"? But I guess I don't need to worry about semantics or care about this woman. My life was preordained good, hers bad. According to this article, I needn't concern myself. |
