I'm a big fan of this subject!

My favorite book on it is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_Room_(Dennett_book)

It's brilliant and he has a lot of brilliant ideas.

One of many is that even if other people do not have free will, reasoning as if they do will give a better prediction of how they actually act than trying to figure how how their behavior is determined.

An analogy is this - a researcher has written a really good chess program. The researcher knows exactly how the code works, but if they want to beat the computer, the best way to do so is not by looking at the hundreds of millions of deterministic instructions and trying to trace them down, but instead, by playing a good game of chess!

A key and rather grave point (not in Dennett) is that believing that your life is out of your control is an early symptom of a lot of mental illnesses that go off in different directions, from depression to schizophrenia. I know that I myself feel pretty desperate when I feel as if I have no choice.

Thanks for a thought-provoking article!
