Robert Sapolsky would disagree

I would assume Sapolsky understands how terms are defined by their context, and that someone saying “free will” in a forum discussion about software doesn’t literally imply the strictest, academic definition of the term.

But if not he can reach out

I'm curious as to what other definitions of the term exist, other than the academic one? I had never though of using the term in any other context. But maybe that's because I've been concerning myself with this specific topic for too long.

		In colloquial parlance that means “it’s up to you, you can do what you want and don’t need permission”

If there isn't free will, he doesn't really disagree.

He just says whatever predetermined shit he was supposed to say.
