>Free will is no more an illusion than the qualia of red. If what you think is outside your control, then who is the "you" that is not in control? Where is it?

If you can't choose to swap the color red to blue, then what makes you think you have any other choice with other things in your mind?

[inimino → Pent]

Do you experience the qualia of red as a choice? If so, you cannot trust your senses any further than your own choices. But if you experience, for example, before taking an important call, that you have a choice to make, then you have a choice to make. The fact that the laws of physics may underwrite your experience has no bearing on this.

[Pent → inimino]

the color red is a matter of perception, not a "law of physics"

[inimino → Pent]

But do you choose to have that perception, or is it simply a consequence of looking at something that happens to be red?
