"We have to believe in free-will. We've got no choice." — Isaac Bashevis Singer. Quoted Times Diary, 21 Jun. 1982.
I'm intrigued by the way we humans worship free will. It seems to come down to the fact that we judge life to be meaningless without it. Like for Frank Sinatra, life ultimately has meaning because "I did it my way." However, is the binding of meaning to free will anything more than an arbitrary linkage?
