Reply to Marx;
The reality of subjective experience allows freewill but it does not require it. The mental and the physical somehow set limits on each other. The will can only act through the limitations of a body. The body constrains what can be felt and experienced. The balance of power between these defines the extent of our free will.
BTW, only eliminative materialists are zombies.
