Not sure where Jeff's reference to Harris' new book is, but I got it yesterday, Jeff, and read it this morning. It's short and sweet. It adds absolutely NOTHING to the conversation. He just restates all the same objections to LFW. Maybe he just wanted to go on record as agreeing with the arguments against LFW. And there's NO attempt to engage point for point with contrary (libertarian) arguments or authors. He just says those arguments are impossible.

I can't get that $10 back. It would have been worth it had he added something novel in favor of determinism (he says compatibilism [Dan Dennett's version of it] is as pointless as libertariansim).

Well, he's getting close. If libertarianism is false, all events are pointless. Isn't amazing how otherwise smart people can't see the forest for the trees about something so fundamental and important to rationality?
