Free Will is really quite simple to me, it most
readily exists in the space between stimulus and
response. The smaller the space the less one acts the
larger the space the more room for thought and action,
as opposed to just having your buttons pushed. Free
Will does seem to elude a significant portion of the
population, many of whom see themselves as victims
rather than designers of their own lives and
destinies.
