Harvest: Do The Math

[3DMonkey]

The only free will they have is how they feel about the situation,

IMO, this is the one and only correct summation of what "free will" is. I think to go beyond that is folly.

As stated, the balanced entity would not react in any way except to protect the free will of the other first, and their own body complex second. Let's say there is no escape, and the only options are to harm the other entity or to let it harm you (completely possible situation). Why is a choice like this necessary? The preferred choice, allowing the other-self to do as it pleases, would end in the cessation of incarnation. Can we really call it freewill when the preferred choice kills us? In my opinion, if we experienced true freewill, death would not be the only option for an entity wishing to preserve the freewill of an other-self.

Free. Free to choose whatever mental reaction. That's it. .... IMO, take death out of the equation because we will die, and that is that.
