My boyfriend and I were talking about free will the other night. We at least have the illusion of freewill, we cannot know whether or not we are actually free and we probably aren't. At least the illusion is important-- if someone could tell us what exactly we were going to do we would probably try as hard as we could not to end up that way. (and what Eilonnwy said, we have to presume free will or people would start saying that they killed that person, because they had to and shouldn't be punished.)
Determinism makes more sense to me, but I couldn't care less about what it actually is.
We should be open to the idea that we can change ourselves, so that we can. If we think we have no free will-- some people might just sit on there butts all day.
