The notion of freedom is incoherent. People would be better off abandoning the pursuit of it.

What do you think of Free Will Is as Real as Baseball?

I think it's arguing a level below where I'm coming from (though possibly there's some self-similarity here).

None of this quite settles the question of whether “free will” is actually a crucial ingredient in the best theory of human beings we can imagine developing.

I think it isn't. Which makes the rest of the page true but irrelevant.
