confluence,

Sapolsky is an incredible behavioral biologist. You can watch a whole course of his Stanford lectures for free on YouTube.

Umbrias,

It’s a philosophical and semantic discussion and they have taken a side. If people could stop framing this as a scientific absolute that would be great.

Nomad,

I agree. Its a technicality. Yes we dont have free will. But just in the sense that we can decide according to our free will, just that all the factors forming that decision have already happended and would have happened any other way. So free will exists, but its just a very complex illusion.

Umbrias,

Just depends on how you define free will, what you take from that definition, how you approach the randomness of quantum physics, and how you feel about the boundary conditions of the universe.
