Isn't it delicious when something regarded as plainly obvious by a great many just seems to evaporate the moment we scrutinize it? The unmoved mover of mind seems like something which we ought to be able to demonstrate...as much as we contend that it exists and that we have leveraged it for a great multitude of effects. It seems strange, to me, that such a present and prescient ability of human beings, purportedly at the heart of so much that we are and do..............can just vanishe when people go looking for it. -That- might be an even more impressive ability than the one from which free will takes it's name. It hides at boundary conditions. It's existence hinging on conversational shorthand for an unknown quantity.
Maybe free will just doesn't want to be found?
