(December 13, 2009 at 9:33 am)fr0d0 Wrote: I strongly disagree that it's wordplay. It's a more accurate use of language. 'Will' is commonly assumed to be 'choice'. You cannot make any choice you aren't programmed to make through your own "character or desires". This includes persuasion by other agents. You are not restricted externally from making these choices so you are a free agent.
If you wanna be accurate with language, be accurate. Choice is not the same as will. Will is about striving for a particular outcome not for the choice as such.

Are you saying people cannot be persuaded by others?

And now straight on to the big question. What delivers your desires?

Where exactly in the latter does the soul pop into existence?
