Contra-causal free will.
Daniel Dennett has impressed me even less when the last free will video he did said free will was man made like money.... he used money as an analogy saying how money is real even if it is man made and artifical... well that's pretty much admitting it doesn't exist. He's just saying it's useful if we believe we have it. A tiny part of me thought he had a chance to win the debate until I saw him finally make it clear that that is what he is actually saying... and now I see why it was so hard to see exactly what he meant before, he kept alluding to it but he's only just spelled it out.
I mean, how is that any different from not conforming to a non-existent thing such as free will and merely dealing with ethics?
Sam Harris has always been consistently clear and ever since I was younger years before I'd even heard of Harris or Dennett I was of the position that Harris is... he just explains it so much better than I have. I feel like he can articulate so well how I've felt for years.
