    You think concepts have an independent existence apart from humans.  That is classic utopian thinking.  I say we have no free will are no more than the sum total of our personal experiences.  All our ideas are no more than abstractions of experience.  There is no independent universe of ideas, and we have no free will.  Learning is the communication of experience but, without a human to learn there is no learning.
     

    Without humans there are no ideas.
