If you were a simulation, you might not have free will. To even propose that you'd have a decision beyond state-machine-dynamics is a world away.

- tensor 13y agoYou might not have free will as a meat brain.
- vidarh 13y agoI've yet to see a convincing definition of "free will" that makes any sense as anything other than an abstraction on top of determinism or randomness. To propose that we have any ability to make decisions beyond state-machine-dynamics possibly with some randomness sprinkled on top, is totally nonsensical to me.
- aa0 13y agoPrecisely. It's almost certain that we don't have free will. I would define free will as the mere appearance that thought processes are governed by self in a non-local time frame. I would gander that a simulated brain might have less of this illusory 'free will.'
