You Have No Free Will!

I think it can be shown that we don't have free will by looking on the universe.
If the universe is deterministic (everything can be predicted if you have all the information that exists in the universe), I don't see how you can have free will because then you could be predicted. If the universe is not deterministic so things happen randomly in the world. You can't have free will because your brain can not control the random atomic processes that's happening in your brain.

Wow ive never lived before i watched this video.Not really sorry i got kinda confused :(

@LyperArts To say that this is "not free"... essentially because "you're made of matter" is to have made a statement of essentially zero content, because "freedom" then is something that's impossible by definition, yet freedom is a useful word we use every day. It has to do with freedom from constraints etc, not "freedom" from your own nature. The latter would annihilate every aspect of "you".

@LyperArts "Therefore the illusion of freewill is once again created, but in the end, your system chooses for you."
The problem is that you're really misusing language, both in the quoted statement and in the video in general. To say "your system chooses for you" is just nonsense. That is "you choosing". You are your body, including all your neurons. That system makes choices. What you are actually insisting on is that we call all actions performed by machines "illusions".
It feeIs reaI enough, and that's good enough for me. I give not a damn whether or not I truIy have free wiII.

Not really a good example.
Let's go back to your point. My father asks me "How are you?"
The answer may be "I am fine." But that does not exactly mean that your neurons force you to say that answer.
You can be "Fine" But say "I'm terrible I'm probably going to kill myself today."
That is called a lie. And part of the argument of free will. You can have no chemical or biological reason to do something, but choose to do it anyway. I look forward to your retort.
By the way, 500$ is the cost.

@Fidchelle999 The example was fine if you look at it in that way, If you get an impulse into your system it will respond to that impulse, If that respond in the end means "Self-destruction" (of course not directly from your dad asking you of "how are you") then it is not much different than "I'm fine", A lie is also just a neurological response. Therefore the illusion of freewill is once again created, but in the end, your system chooses for you. Thanks a lot for your response, I appreciated it

@LyperArts To say that free will is an illusion is to adopt inane definitions of "free" and "will". Doesn't it make you hesitate at all when you make statements such as "but in the end, your system chooses for you"? How could the quoted expression possibly be different from "but in the end, you make a choice"? You are your body. Your body, at any given time, includes an encoding of "your will".. Sure it's deterministic, but it is what we call "you" and it performs choices according to your will.

@Gnomefro That is defiantly true, you have a view close to mine, but I do believe that the uncontentious plays are very large role too, and of course we can say that, that the unconsciousness is also a part of you, but you don't have any control over it, witch therefore points toward determinism, not freewill. I do agree with most you said through.
