If free will was not real

[Gemini]

I;m invalidating your use of the frontal lobe as a goal post shifting requirement for free will when your previous criteria didn't -fail- per se...but led to a conclusion that you did not like...that a thermostat has your description of free will just as surely as we do.

It's not goal post shifting at all. My original description of free will was "experience of making a decision." Unless you've committed to some kind of panpsychism in your philosophy of consciousness, your attempt at a reductio via thermostat never got off the starting line.

If the impetus for your using the term in such a way is merely to make the assertions work, then it;s a poor reason to use the term in such a way.  Is heroin addiction not duress?  Can you maintain your convenient use of the term..with a straight face, in response to -that- question.  Because if you can;t...that;s probably a hint that something has gone awry in your propositional structure and use of terms.  

Nope. I am scrupulous about the denotation of my words in the way that only a pedantic bitch like me can be

Heroin addiction is not duress. It is compulsion.

I don;t acknowledge it;s freedom, in any sense, or in any situation you have heretofore described.  If I did, we wouldn;t be having this wonderful disagreement.  I don't think we possess even what -you- describe as free will.  
-or did I misread that?

I thought you had agreed that have autonomy in the legal sense?
