- Psychology denies the existance of free will because its very
- existance is incompatible with the concept. Once you recognize
- that human beings have free will, you can explain any human
- behavior with one simple explanation: he chose to do it. All
- the ids, egos, superegos, hobgoblins, and supernatural forces
- that fill psychology books become superfluous. (And the writers
- of those books lose their source of income.)
