I think it's largely irrelevant to the issue of free will
because free will doesn't reside in this domain
of meaningless, pseudo-random finger movements.
It resides in the domain of human imagination, considering our options
and playing things out.
And that's an entirely different brain process
than preparing to make a meaningless motor action.



I believe that the human brain realizes not only the first order
libertarian free will, the capacity to consider options
and that our mental processes can turn out otherwise.
But we have this meta free will, or second order libertarian
free will that allows us to become new kinds of nervous systems
in a year from now, or 10 years from now.
