I was putting together some water animation experiments for a client—the 2011 version of Drambuie's The Premise, if you must know—when I decided to run with the central visual of the ocean's surface in a more abstract direction. After a little aimlessly calculated geometric free-association, I was left with this modest collection of crisply recorded visual thoughts. Interpret them however you like. We're all guaranteed to be wrong.
With that out of the way, I'd like to reiterate my belief that not only is "free will" an illusion, but that it's a contradiction to begin with, if not an outright category error. There's simply no way to posit a coherent mechanism capable of implementing the conventional notion of human volition without either arriving at full-stop determinism or, in a last ditch effort at injecting novelty into the equation, calling an audible with an equally self-defeating appeal to randomness. In either case, we remain expressions rather than expressers. Sorry, judicial system. Better luck next paradigm.
