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.

@Jeber @normsmusic We can decide, but only on a limited basis..

@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 @gemswinc
I don’t understand it all, but quantum physics fascinates me. I’m becoming convinced that everything we perceive as reality is just a small percentage of what’s really there.

@Jeber @gemswinc here is something to think about, the atoms of your body are proportional as distant from each other as the stars in the universe.
