We could conclude that "free will" was an illusion, philosophically, albeit a necessary, or practical, one for living, as a free-will conceit would operate as one of the determinants entering into "decisions."

This would be practical, socially, as well as contain common sense, as, for example the threat of punishment may erroneously assume free will while at the same time "work," as the threat works in the deterministic universe or the free will one.

'Night, all.
