Speaking as someone who has done this, in earnest, I have to say that it didn't lead anywhere. Your ideas about soul snippets were incoherent when examined and your take on free will was at best just a version of already existing fudge compatibilism and offered nothing (other than that plants have the sort of 'free will' you were on about).
As I recall, you never explained what was incoherent about my ideas of soul snippets. It's a pretty simple idea, there's not a lot of room for incoherence to creep into it.
It was totally incoherent. I explained. I'm not getting back into it again. Disagree if you wish. I gave it as much consideration as it deserved, probably more. It was utter and complete bollocks.
