An attempt to answer some of the usual "big questions" using a purely physicalist viewpoint. What is most interesting about it is that some of the questions do not get answered - at least not in the spirit that someone would actually mean them. For example:
What is the purpose of it all?
What is good and what is evil?
What is truth?
How should we act?
What is the meaning of life?
Additionally, the one on free will doesn't even answer the question at all. It merely says that quantum mumbo-jumbo gives people free will, because it is 'unpredictable'. Merely because something is unpredictable doesn't mean it was chosen - which is what we're really interested in, after all. A slave to determinism or a slave to chaos - I don't know which one is a more depressing view.
