Is free will real?

[abaris]

You see a shiny red object, the monkeys see an object in the same point in space, and to you, this represents a shared experience. I see the ideas and feelings connected to the object, and know that monkeys can never share those ideas and feelings, and see that the experience of "Ferrari" cannot be shared with that species. Both species see shiny red objects, and those objects are real. But only people can really see "Ferrari."

So what's the real problem here? We simply have different perceptions. To use your example of monkeys staring at a Ferrari, it's still a car but doesn't have any meaning for them.

If we see a stick lying around near a termite mound, it's just a stick for us, but for the monkeys it's a tool to get at the yummie treats.
