Actually free will does exist, unless you define it by some ridiculous standard that I want to fly but I can’t.
You have free will to pursue your survival and best interests, obviously within the limitations of our physical body.

JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 months agoI don’t understand all that you’re saying, but it seems you’re basing your argument off the incorrect assumption that free will exists.

It’s actually the people who try to reconcile free will and a deterministic universe who make the ridiculous arguments, such as compatibilism, which basically just redefines free will. If free will were to be true, you have to have the ability to have acted differently.

The universe is not deterministic, but that’s completely irrelevant. The argument of free will does not rely on the lack of determinism of quantum mechanics.
If free will were to be true, you have to have the ability to have acted differently.
And how will you determine the existence or lack thereof, of the ability to act differently?
I’d say we very probably have this ability, since we often reacts differently in similar situations. Ergo by your own standard, your conclusion is wrong.JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 months ago
You have to have acted differently at that time in that situation, not at another time in a different situation.

Lol, I see how you could see it that way. I meant rather that I thought I did understand the part where you claimed free will existed, but not the argument based off that.

While Superderminism is a valid solution to both Bell’s paradox and this result, it isn’t a factor in the Frauchiger-Renner paradox so there must be something else going on.
And it would be pretty superfluous for our universe to behave the way it does around interactions and measurements if free will didn’t exist.
