In H's early theological studying years his "power of the will" views were
probably as pessimistic as A's, but later he may have swung toward "will
to power." Just being catty.

I can't really visualize a Pynchoneon view on free will. It's too much a
theological question. Sure P must be strong on the power of the
Unconscious.
