Brilliant man. Brilliant video. If I were gay, I'd totally marry Sam Harris.

He's great, but his point on free will (that it is an illusion) is, well, not wrong, but misleading. We do have free will.

We do have free will.

Define free will and then prove that it exists.

Ok, I would say free will means that at each point in time, "we" make a choice of what to do next.
The question is what is "we" in this sentence. What factors are considered in what we do next: our neurons connections, based on our genes, our experience, our knowledge so far. i.e. everything we consider to be "we" on a day to day basis.
