if god has no choice but to be omniscient, he also has no choice but to know what s/he knows, and would therefore also be as lacking in a free will as we mortals. good video.

cause and effect at the quantum level plays out in exactly the same way as at the macro level. it's just that at the quantum level, there is a lot going on that we are not aware of.

hey; you've left out all my work on this. check out my Exploring the Illusion of Free Will tv show

the hard part of refuting determinism, or causality, is that the only alternative to it -- that some things are not "caused" is incoherent. subjective prediction is actually inconsequential.

any regression beyond when we were born prohibits free will. don't confuse predictability with causality. everything is causal, yet nothing, from our subjective perspective, is completely predictable.

I think your presentations are great. If you ever want to do a 10 minute segment for my TV Show, Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, or call in to our live Manhattan TV show Myth Free Will (11pm et Weds.), let me know.

We carry on as though you have free will, but are also more understanding of others and ourselves when we mess up, and are far less likely to feel conceited when we do what others might consider impressive.

Quantum behavior is completely causal. The ONLY alternative to causality is acausality, and nothing in our universe happens without it being caused. Macro-neurophysiology certainly explains causality, but molecules are made of particles, and so the claim of causality generally needs to be made ...

Particle behavior at the quantum level is completely causal. the the thought that it, or anything else, could just happen with it being caused, is just incoherent. chemistry is completely causal

Yes, our human will is completely constrained in terms of nature and nurture determining ALL of human behavior, completely constrained because must have a cause, meaning that everything we think, say and do must have a cause, and that cause must have a cause, etc. I'm currently doing two weekly ...

If we don't have a personal self, it seems clear that we cannot have a free will, which, by definition, requires a personal self deciding free of factors it does not control. It's a legitimate question, and the answer is simply no.

We need to acknowledge the correct answer, because when we ascri...
