Comment on do you think freewill truly exists?

“free will” is chemical process. Chemical processes are dictated by the laws of physics.
You don’t have any more “free will” than an apple falling from a tree. Or a ball rolling.

The laws of physics are not deterministic at the fundamental level, we clearly experience some kind of agency, so doesn’t it make sense to assume that it could be the origin of this indeterminism?

Rolling a Quantum dice is not freedom.

Chemical processes told me to tell you “quantum deez nutz” and I am powerless to disobey.

You’re assuming quantum indeterminism is random in the sense that there is no agency behind it, but there is no evidence of that. If anything, the fact we feel like we have free will suggests there might be some agency somewhere, and if it manifests anywhere, that is as indeterminism at the fundamental level.

If there is an agent who is deciding it then that would show up in the statistics. Unless you’re saying there exists an agent who decides the outcomes but always just so happens to very conveniently decide they should be entirely random. lol
