So first maybe he could go about defining 'free will'
Compatabilist definitions (as in, definitions that are even compatible with determinism) of free will I am perfectly happy to believe in because I consider them stating the obvious and so that's why I don't personally call them "free will". It seems meaningless to me.
Definitions that wouldn't be compatible with determinism, make no sense to me whatsoever, and not only seem impossible intuitively - I'm certainly very very very skeptical that it's even physically possible so I set the bar very high for the evidence required to change my mind (and I have no idea what it would or could even look like) -... but I also, of course (at least so far), know of no evidence supporting them whatsoever.
