- CuriouslyC 10y agoThen it would be more correct to say that free will is an illusion, which is also debatable but at least not absurd.
- ThomPete 10y agoNot at all. Free will is just one of the "victims" another one is our perception of things being what we experience them as (qualia) or that there is only one way to simulate reality. This then comes back to things like AI where you could ask yourself if there are other forms of feedback loops which could be "conscious" in some form or another.
