Uh, can we get a wellness check on Chronos?
“The Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear and Other Naughty Diversions”
“Starting as if in the good old-fashioned Two-Step, the dancers suddenly let go hands, the man slipping behind his fair companion, there is a little step and a hop, something like a turkey might be expected to do, then a fresh grip around the waist of the young lady, the man snuggles up ever so closely behind her and they hop, skip and jump and half run along.”

Re: Free Will in 300 plus pages
We act more effectively in both the real and social environments if we have an internal model of active mental agency that makes decisions that appear to involve free will. It is probably an illusion, but one that has been useful during the evolution of our species.

Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

I've read Dennett's book on the topic, "Freedom Evolves" and enjoyed it.
