Brilliant interview, well done Lex. Alex is a humble genius, very eloquent and has interesting views - don't agree with him on the whole Free Will not existing thing, but maybe i've no choice but to feel that way about it :),(reply>), @xSayPleasex I think the problem around believing there is no free will is down to materialism - the modern myth of our times, i.e. that the world is merely a machine being played out by inert particles of matter following fairly simple rules leaving no room for anything else such as free will, consciousness is an illusion and that which gives the world meaning is just the anthropomorphic projection of an animal struggling with its own pointless existence. And it really is a hangover from the Cartesian worldview of the 17th century, denying the spirit within ourselves, the sentience in matter, and reducing everything to parts. Its a shame that so many people fall into this trap without even realising the undeniable and deep short comings materialism has as an explanatory tool,(reply>), Is it possible when some people discuss Free Will not existing what they really believe is that the world, in a broad sense, is largely deterministic?  I really find it a difficult position to argue that free will is absent even in the most micro individual decisions such as at what millisecond will I do a particularly uneventful action as an example.
