From what I understand of the Many-Worlds Theory, if it's correct, we can have both 'free will' and 'determinism': a man orders pizza, in 90% of possible future

From what I understand of the Many-Worlds Theory, if it's correct, we can have both 'free will' and 'determinism': a man orders pizza, in 90% of possible futures he chooses a Margherita which is his favorite, but in 10% he orders something else.
- loopz 5y agoThose are just statistics or hypotheticals. It's only facts after the action is made.
- uniqueid 5y agoIt's only facts after the action is made. My understanding of Many Worlds is probably wrong then. I assumed that every outcome exists (every possible world in the — relative to you right now — past, present, and future), and that any particular outcome is only 'special' to the copy of you in that universe.
- loopz 5y agoSounds hypothetical ;)
- akvadrako 5y agoBut the choice in MWI is random, which isn't any more "free" than determinism.
