    Because billions is an absurd understatement, and computer have constrained problem spaces far less complex than even the most controlled life of a lab rat.

    And who the hell argues the animals don’t have free will? They don’t have full sapience, but they absolutely have will.

      So where does it end? Slugs, mites, krill, bacteria, viruses? How do you draw a line that says free will this side of the line, just mechanics and random chance this side of the line?

      I just dont find it a particularly useful concept.
