-------------------------VIDEO NOTES-------------------------

The existence of free will is an uncomfortable subject, and a difficult intuition to let go of, if, like me, you are convinced it is illusory. One response to the implications of determinism on free will is a philosophy known as 'compatibilism', with advocates from Thomas Hobbes to Daniel Dennett. I think it fails, and thought I'd spend some time explaining why.
