Friday night we saw the movie Diabolique, which was one of Hitchcock's style-influences. It was an OK (but merely OK) suspense/horror story

I think I am deeply in love with River Song.

Of course, it is all down to the screwdriver...

Yeah, she does seriously rock.

:-) The joys of ignorance.

I would be interested in your thoughts and feelings about free will and what it means to respect it.

[da_lj]

Yes. Though, it'll have to be not-tonight, because da_lj thud down go fall now.

Or something like that.

Daniel Gilbert's book reminded me that free will, or an illusion of free will, is important to my feelings of well-being. ...I'm also aware other people may feel secure in the absence of free will. (And hey, maybe I am too, just in other arenas than I'm thinking about right now).

When I wrote "a God who doesn't respect free will," I was thinking of the analog of an authoritarian leader/parent, the structures that seem to lead to people who think God is smiting Florida for voting the wrong way.

I might have more to say, but the thoughts tend to go around and around without saying much new right now...

(nods) Makes sense.
