Dennet essentially says that freewill is an illusion .
A one hour and 23 minute video? Are you fucking stroking me? And what's with the weasel word 'essentially'? I might watch this, then again, I might just blow you off for being unable to present your evidence more concisely.
Note that the video you are citing was posted to Youtube in April 2009. In the abstract for Dennett's December 2010 lecture paper ""My Brain Made Me Do It" (When Neuroscientists
Think They Can Do Philosophy)", Dennett writes:
"Some philosophers and neuroscientists have recently been saying that science shows that we don't have free will,
but it turns out that this claim — which would be bad news if true — is due to misrepresentation and misinterpretation.
Since free will matters to people, and should matter, these contributions to public misunderstanding are regrettable."
So in other words, you're essentially an unreliable source.
