Compatibilism is horseshit, because it includes embedded in it a total redefinition of what "free will" means. I hate it when people do that: they make an operational definition for the lab, or a skewed definition that fits a physical monist view, and then say, "Voila!" when their begged question inevitably provides the "answer" they knew was there all along.
