Kinda like the whole "refrigerator light when door shut" thingie....
That's not the type of "free" that he's refering to though.
Naw thats now how it works...the little gnomes come and have a battle with the cheese!
We wouldn't know the difference. Everything would just shut down. We would stop functioning, thinking, and living, but we would not know the difference.

If it does, then read the above post AGAIN.
What if your freedom is an optical illusion? That you don't control your mind, but your mind controls you?

Free will is what THEY want you to think you have.It does not really exist, moderation and servalience (sp?) keeps us in a controlled society...and if we are being watched and controlled constantly....then free will does not TRUELY exist.Semi-free will does though...where we have limited freedom.

I am in total agreement, but what it means is he has the ability to do anything he wants, but with that comes consequences. If you steal, you go to jail. You have the ability to steal, you have the free will, but the consequence is going to jail.Ugh, my brain hurts =(
