Frankfurt, The Importance of What We Care About, 1–10. While Frankfurt cases have become increasingly sophisticated in response to challenges, we present here a basic “prior sign” case. Pat is at the polling station, deliberating about whether to vote for mayoral candidate Tannen or McFly. Black, an evil neurosurgeon, has implanted a device in Pat’s brain that allows Black to monitor Pat’s neural states. Black’s device allows him to alter Pat’s neural states if the situation requires it, and make Pat do whatever Black wishes. For reasons that need not concern us, Black wants Pat to vote for Tannen. If Black detects that Pat is about to vote for McFly, Black will activate his device and ensure that Pat chooses to vote for Tannen instead. As it turns out, Pat chooses on his own to vote for Tannen, and Black never has to activate his device. The proponent of the FSC claims that in this case Pat’s choice is free and Pat is morally responsible for making it, even though Pat could not have chosen otherwise than he did.
