Read me. It's already written that you will anyway. There is no escape from determinism...

Read:
A776117 - Free Will versus Determinism
A301122 - The Problem of Free Will
Both already in the Edited Guide. The first is a philosophical examination of the different things that the concept 'free will' might mean: the second is a practical argument in favour of living 'as if' one has free will. (Personally I think the second is a bit weak, but there you are)
Then re-consider your entry in the light of what's already been written. Could you base it on an aspect of one of the previous entries, but go into greater detail? For example, there is an interesting entry in Peer Review at A767955 that goes into more detail on the theological aspect of free will.
Alternatively, you could try and approach the subject from a different angle - explaining the link between belief in free will and culture. Or you could talk instead about belief in 'fate'. There's a lot of different angles there.

Uber Red would post back here, but has no free will and is being constrained by times singularly deterministic arrow to keep away.
I'll remind him when i see him tomorrow.
Do you think this would more suit the AGG?

free will or not, Uber Red has managed to unsubscribe from this thread. To the Flea Market or to the AWW?
