    As a young 'un, I always found the arguments around free will & determinism unsatisfying on both sides.
    Then I found Dennet's unpacking of #Compatibilism and it jibed with my experience and observation, so I ended up reading most everything he wrote for normal folks, and even some of what he wrote for philosophers. He was among the great sense-makers of the late twentieth century for me.

    "Sean Illing: #Philosophers often make the case for some kind of #compatibilism by arguing that the same inputs in different individuals don’t always produce identical outcomes. It’s more like the world and all these factors impose parameters on us, which does leave some room for agency. For you, is this just an attempt to redefine #freeWill in order to salvage the concept?
