I think it is likely that we do not have free will. However, it is such a complex system, and it would be so incredibly difficult to make meaningful predictions for how humans really are about to behave in any given moment, that we effectively have free will. If it is effectively impossible to predict behavior, it doesn't matter if you're technically right.
- aegis4244 6y agoWe have free will, at least as a group of apes. Think of the problem from a protons point of view. I once read, a human is a protons way to look at itself. All these protons were stuck in this gravity well, being tossed around this way and that. Until. Voyager. Some of those protons aren't rattling around with us anymore. Because a group of apes willed it so.
