I haven't listened to this long interview yet, But, I make this brief comment now if I may.

We have free will. This is introspectively as apparent as sensory perceptual data is in extrospective experience. And this can be verified by watching others and by inquiring with them about it. However, our free will is forced on us by all the alternatives given us by the external world. We must choose, we do choose and we will, always, choose. And refusing to choose is a choice. We can't choose to not choose. But it's still free will. We're perfectly free to decide WHAT to choose.

In watching this interview, I'll seriously consider all influences it has on what I've just written.
