Great info, thanks. I'm different from libertarianism in that I say:
- that free will is incompatible with determinism

- that determinism is true
So I'm a hard determinist:

And I think any discussion of free will that does not depend entirely on the state of the brain belongs right beside Astrology. I can accept compatiblism as your best current guess, but not stated as fact; for that, I'd need proof.
