No, it's 11 in the UK and the west edge of Europe, and 12 around France and Germany and such.

No, compatibilism is not libertarian freedom plus determinism. When compatibilists say freedom, they mean something very different from what libertarians say when they mean freedom.

I am of course a compatibilist.

Yes, I think this is what I meant. Compatibilism and libertarianism both have free will, but they have different definitions for free will. I can't see how you could possibly have determinism and libertarian free wil.

Indeed, that would be a contradiction in terms.
