freeest-willon The brain can recall and reawaken past immune responses

We know our knowledge of physics is incomplete.

There is no largely accepted obvious place where free will emerges from, while at the same time superdeterminism is not proven as you say.

So it's fair for some to say that physics as we know it doesn't allow free will, while at the same time it's fair for others to say that obviously they have free will thus it must exist.

Our current understanding of physics leaves no place for free will. Of course, many disagree with this.
