Likewise I guess we'll need a parallel universe to decide whether your musings on the lack of free will are indeed a reasoned position on your part or merely one you hold as a result of the same forces which give rise to the 'illusion' of free will. If there is no free will there isn't really anything to discuss since you hold your positions, as you must, given the factors which determine you and I must do the same. Reasoning and opining are acts every bit as much as are choices. If we don't make the latter, we don't make the former.
