Wait, the "free will theorem" meaning the paper co-authored by Conway that proved that if electrons are deterministic, then humans are also deterministic, and if you can violate determinism for humans you can also violate it for electrions? 'Cuz really they just used the definition of "free will" as "violating determinism."
Sounds like a short class.
EDIT: Okay, so I suppose you could cover the history of the idea of free will. And you could teach the physics used in the paper to people who didn't already know it. Or, possibly, you could rehash the same debates a dozen times.
Yeah, it's a complete waste of time, but you know, David Chalmers.
But yeah, we learn the physics used (very badly) and we rehash the same debates a dozen times. It's irritating, but again, David Chalmers.
I'm doing an undergraduate course on the Free Will Theorem, with three lecturers: a mathematician, a physicist, and David Chalmers as the philosopher. The course is a bit pointless, but the company is brilliant. Chalmers is a pretty smart guy. He studied computer science and math as an undergraduate, before "discovering that he could get paid for doing the kind of thinking he was doing for free already". He's friendly; I've been chatting with him after the classes.
So if anyone has any questions for him, if they seem interesting enough I could approach him with them.
Emails to him also work, of course, but discussion in person lets more understanding happen faster. For example, in a short discussion with him I understood his position on consciousness way better than I would have just from reading his papers on the topic.
