Even probability is just a way of quantifying what we don't know by using previous statistical results. Everything seems to be deterministic with cause and effect relationship. I don't think some local randomness can be thought of as free will, like for example at this moment I can choose to either type in this comment or just stare at the monitor. I am not convinced to think this ability to choose as free well. Even the previous example may not be random, as I don't know the causes and so I claim it to be random. So then what exactly is free will? It appears as if free will should be equivalent to randomness.</p>alagesanFri, 27 Feb 2009 06:56:03 -0000
