do you have free will
or are your neurons simply doing their job and giving the illusion of choice

kk 2 years agoI dont have it -
the real question is does it matter? there have been experiments that suggest that your subconscious decides several seconds before you experience having decided, but you still experience what appears to be free will -
i don't think i have free will but i don't think all my actions are predetermined either -
i have a will because i could have chosen to not comment if i wanted to -
no because the world is not chosen in advance
quantum theory states that we dont know where something is but just the chances of it
we dont know if i was going to reply just the chances
in the end it’s up to me -
yeah we don't know because we have no way of measuring it therefore we use probabilities to represent
but the thing is clearly somewhere -
Here is what truly made you reply to my post:
genetics,
environment,
prior experience -
also luck / randomness doesn't actually exist in our world
just try to think how it could exist
you quickly realize "randomness or chance" is just something you say when there are unknowns -
most general randomness is false: a dice lands one way not randomly but because it was thrown that way. but i believe randomness is still fundamentally important to the universe and some still exists, in a way, in our minds
or maybe, i just think that to avoid going insane at night -
Yeah Mr fir... it's called randomness because we can't measure / determine with precision the actual thing
we just don't have the tools / knowledge to know something -
ok well
i think randomness exists in some form but not going to continue the argument because it’s going nowhere -
i used to think it was just lack of knowledge but then i heard about measuring in multiple directions and that proved to me that it's actual randomness
