Thing is, I don't see this addressing quantum mechanics.
The randomness in QM is _truly_ random, it's not just a deterministic system where we can't learn the initial state. I'm not saying that means there is free will, but it does counter the argument that everything is _deterministic_.
The other wrinkle is that you can have a deterministic system in an infinite space - I'm not sure if that setup still precludes free will.
- withinboredom 6y agoYou’re making the assumption that nondeterministic QM is the right one. There are other interpretations that are deterministic[1]. Even if it is not deterministic, it’s not determined by free will so it’s a nonissue. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_wave_theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_wave_theory
