Lee Cronin has some great ideas but, like he at least tells us multiple times, he indeed lacks some level of basic logic to solve for some simple answers. But that makes him join the majority of humanity (and it's at least a 99.9% majority). Especially his take on sam harris free will shows he has not understood sam harris point of view, no matter if he agrees or disagrees with him as he can't steelman his argument at all. Sam Harris takes a very direct approach to free will, saying every variable that will influence your decision was not decided by you (neither your genes nor experiences and thus all the molecules containing the information you will need to make a decision) and that is 100% correct if there is no "magic" remote modifying the molecules remotely from the outside, and still that would outsource the free will to another instance. Then again you can start over and apply that logic to the other instance. But Sam Harris then again, as many humans do unfortunatly, assumes that logic is logic and will never change, questioning the set in stone characteristic of logic itself is of limits for so many great minds and I find that sad because it literally is taking what we can perceive and sense for granted even if there would be "illogical" solutions that might pop up in the future for stuff we can't perceive directly.
