David biological free will may very well exist ... but it is some compatibilist version that somehow misses the point.
Here is a nose picking free will.
I exert nose picking free will whilst driving when I pick my nose in full knowledge it could be embarrassing should I be observed doing this at traffic lights. I can apply all the fMRI scans etc to the brain to show this is in full accord with physics etc. I can throw a little quantum phenomena into it too.
ergo I have nose picking free will.
And here nose picking free will has completely missed the point.
