Gordon, no. That’s not the problem. The problem is with reconciling determinism with probability distribution. The inherent uncertainity is what “free will” is all about.
That I can choose is at the crux of free will. Eliezer goes on about not having the choice not to choose and therefore it is deterministic (or whatever the QM equivalent term he wants to use. You get the picture.) And then you get into definitional issues.
There still is segue missing between bridging this thought with his earlier comments on macro level decoherence and its “collapse into reality”. I am looking forward to his building that bridge.
