As far as 'free will' goes, I'm not yet convinced about the "no free will" notion, and I don't know the evidence to be as strong with respect to total determinism as opposed to materialism. Though I do think the 'will' is shaped and motivated in a determind manner. But wether the "will" is completely constrained by determinism or not I don't yet have an opinion on. We all feel free, of course, but, subjective experience, as we've seen, can be deceiving.
