re: #9 Obdicut

I think the burden of proof is really on those who are claiming that we do have free will.
And what is the alternative to a nearly infinitely complex deterministic universe? Some Deepak Chopra like woo that consciousness creates reality?

The physical laws and previous state of the universe go in and the future comes out. That you chose 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer over a box of doughnuts doesn’t change the fact that you’re basically just watching the show.
