great episode :)

Five episodes in and there's still an underlying concept, which seems to have critical significance for the topic of free will, but has yet to be addressed: what is the self? So much hinges upon what it means for you to make a choice, so in providing due diligence to the concept of what it means for an agent to make a choice, some requirement is generated for explicitly defining what comprises an agent, or the self. Compatibilists seem to make their bread on some concept of the self.
