afraid so.
I did manage to get a program to download the lecture videos from John Conway about Free Will and Determinism as well as the remaining lectures. Jatka is what I used for the WebMedia Flash lectures, the .RM files I used Orbit's Grab++ and set the sucker to always retry...seems they are difficult to maintain connections. NO PROBLEM. These lectures are interesting because they deal with the issues I've been addressing with myself and my philosophy degree. Free-Will for me I had to simplify it so that it was memorable, but the applications are endless.
My Definitions;
FREE-WILL: Doing what you DON'T FEEL like doing.
Choice: TO DO OR NOT TO DO.
What we are looking for is OPTIONS to use our choice to apply to it to drive our direction towards a goal or journey without an aforementioned outcome.
Those people who, "want to do what they want to do," is actually a statement broadcast to our perceiving awareness to which we repeat.
Our personal pains, fears, anxieties are all a manifestation of the body. To divide and conquer this prospect you must first, as I have done, realize that just because you can PERCEIVE a thing does not make it yours. This pain is not yours, but the body's and because the body can speak to us, we can actually tell what it wants. The body wants comfortableness. It wants decadence. It wants impulsiveness. It wants to sleep. It wants to eat. It wants to drink. It wants to breathe.
If you want to take away the body's choices away from it and place them within your own abilities, make the necessary choices before they become a requirement (that is, doing before it is needed).
