All of our reasoning would be much easier if free will were an illusion. Perhaps we should stop fighting it.

- roywiggins 9y agoSuperdeterminism is even weirder than that though. Why would the universe conspire to make sure that I picked my observation angle just right to maintain Bell's inequality? If you use the outcome of a celestial event to determine the angle, then you've got an absolute enormous conspiracy just to make sure that Bell's inequality isn't violated. It's deeply weird.
- dmichulke 9y agoIf free will were an illusion, it wouldn't make sense to try to convince anybody of it. IOW, if you're right, your comment is useless :-) But I'd understand why you had to write that anyway :-P
- yters 9y agoI always thought the opposite. It seems things like non-determinism and retrocausality made free will more physically coherent instead of less coherent. It is the strictly deterministic universe of Newton that makes free will illusive.
