What does “evidence” even mean in a world with no free will. If there is no free will, there really is no such thing as arguments or evidence.
A wide range of discourse, a beloved topic.
It is not that will cannot be coopted, or controlled, or predictable based on common patterns, it is that will is arbitrarily available at the discretion its possessor that makes it “free.”
Will, is the determinate resolve (of our “potential of being”).
Will, the determination of resolve.
That you may exercise your determination at your discretion is your free will. That you may be under some other influence is a psycho-intellectual complexity that is each’s lot to resolve, those who would be “masters” of their own.
As an aside, determinism in general fails by lack of account (always an encompassing scope of interceding unknown variance), and decay (it is falling apart consistent only by eventuality.)
Prior discussion - I wasn't aware and thought it was pertinent to share.
Our universe, to the best of our knowledge, follows deterministic laws combined with random quantum jumps. Being “random” doesn’t imply that there’s any free will, only that what happens has randomness and you can’t fully predict what comes next.
Our appearance of free will is just an emergent property of the macroscopic system. But if the underlying system is “deterministic but random”, then the macro system must be as well.
"Debunked", please.
