When you think you are imagining it you are not even imagining it. Libertarian free will, when you really unpack what you think you mean you realize you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

You obviously feel pretty strong about it.

And yet, today I stood in front of a candy rack, and I freely chose what candy I wanted.  /thread
