Lately I tend to think, that talking about “free will“ makes no sense at all. Our consciousness is the product of physical processes. They lead to the decisions we make. That's all there is.

Now if you bring a free will into play, where does it reside? Is it somewhere outside physics? Thats metaphysics then. And out of reach for any understanding anyway so pointless to reason about.

What I could agree on is to see “free will“ as a metaphor for the essence of our existence. The part that we probably never can explain.
