As far as I can tell, everything in our world is governed by the laws of physics, and free will is an illusion. We "make choices", but only because physics moves our brain from one state to the next, and your "choices" only have one option - the one that follows physics.
(this assumes there's no true randomness in the universe, as it requires a source of true randomness, so infinite regress)

- bufferoverflow 2y agoThat doesn't matter.
