Dennett throws down the gloves and pummels Sam Harris right in the gut

[pocaracas]

Here I thought that Harris was on the other court...

In my book, I argue that an honest look at the causal underpinnings of human behavior, as well as at one’s own moment-to-moment experience, reveals free will to be an illusion. (I would say the same about the conventional sense of “self,” but that requires more discussion, and it is the topic of my next book.) I also claim that this fact has consequences—good ones, for the most part—and that is another reason it is worth exploring.

These guys get caught up in details and examples which have little bearing to the discussion, but what do I know of philosophy?
