Do you believe in Free Will?
If you do tell me what makes you believe it. What are examples? show me a distribution where the bell curve is squared conclusively. Is it possible to not have volition yet lead a life as if you had? Are you happy even if you don't have free will?

@normsmusic
Usually I’d ask for a definition of free will, but if you’re referring to the common understanding, no, I don’t.
When we consider all the millions of factors that preceded and contributed to every decision we have ever made, I wouldn’t call that free will.
Scientists have even discovered that before we do something as simple as flex a muscle our brains have set that action in motion.

@gemswinc @Jeber thanks for your thoughts. In my wine-soaked debates of my youth, the Heisenberg Principle of Uncertainty allowed 4 to 5% free will from a deterministic universe, now proved false.

@normsmusic @Jeber That's interesting... will pursue further..
