Drew McDermott has written a lucidly convincing account of an AI approach to
what could be meant by `free will'.  Now, can we please move the rest of this
stuff - in particular, anything which brings in such topics as:  a decent world
to live in , Hitler and Stalin , Spanking , an omniscient god[sic] , ethics,
Hoyle's "Black Cloud",  sin, and laws, and purpose, and the rest of what
Vedanta/Budhists would call the "Illusion", Dualism  or  the soul - to somewhere
else; maybe talk. philosophy, but anywhere except here.
