I'm not exactly sure what you're accusing me of. I think Freedom Evolves is about the best exposition of how I conceive of free will. I am also a libertarian. I find it personally useful to believe in free will irrespective of arguments about determinism and I think we should have political systems that assume free will. I still have some mental gymnastics to perform to reconcile a deterministic material universe with my own personal intuitive conception of free will but I don't think that really matters.

I'm confused. I haven't read Freedom Evolves but Dennet is a compatiblist, afaik.
I think you're saying you're a compatibilist but act as if libertarianism were true, but I'm not sure.
A monthly thread for posting rationality-related quotes you've seen recently (or had stored in your quotesfile for ages).
ETA: It would seem that rationality quotes are no longer desired. After several days this thread stands voted into the negatives. Wolud whoever chose to to downvote this below 0 would care to express their disapproval of the regular quotes tradition more explicitly? Or perhaps they may like to browse around for some alternative posts that they could downvote instead of this one? Or, since we're in the business of quotation, they could "come on if they think they're hard enough!"
