Here's Sabine again stating things without further reasoning. I'm sorry but I have a hard time reconciling Laplacian determinism with quantum physics, I'd like

  > I'm sorry but I have a hard time reconciling Laplacian determinism with quantum physics, I'd like to see more details. As I understand it, it's not really Laplacian determinism. We still have the chaos and quantum randomness. But the argument is, your "decision", what you perceive as free will is the result of it. Not the other way around. At a certain scale (time and scope-wise) it can be predicted what you will "decide" before you think you consciously take a decision. I picture it for myself a bit like a partly covered Pascal's marble run. The upper covered part standing for quantum randomness. Neurosciences don't make a claim on being able to predict that, but they can (more or less) accurately observe the lower uncovered part and seeing where the marble goes. (Or at least which side) And then we have the subject of the experiment, which becomes conscious of the marble when it drops, claiming that it willed the marble to drop there. I hope my picture helps more than distract, as it will have its own flaws.
