Do you like the LW wiki page (actually, pages) on Free Will? I just wrote a post to Scott Aaronson’s blog, and the post assumed an understanding of the compatibilist notion of free will. I hoped to link to the LW wiki, but when I looked at it, I decided not to, because the page is unsuitable as a quick introduction.
EDIT: Come over, it is an interesting discussion of highly LW-relevant topics. I even managed to drop the “don’t confuse the map with the territory”-bomb. As a bonus, you can watch the original topic of Scott’s post: His diavlog with Anthony Aguirre
The “Free Will” pages are fairly weak right now—I think it would be useful to rewrite at least the “Solution” page, and probably the question page as well.
