From R. C. Gibson, Irvine, California, US
I offer further arguments against the existence of free will. First of all, two of the greatest minds to have ever lived, Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, scoffed at the very existence of free will (30 September, p 32).
Secondly, many parents of more than one child will attest to how different their offspring are and how their personalities stayed the same from toddler to adult. We must acknowledge Friedrich Nietzsche, who told us that we all become who we are. Free will is just wishful thinking.
