Do you believe the universe is deterministic? If so, what does that mean for free will?
personally I strongly believe in determinism, and I think that free will can still exist in a deterministic world (although please don’t ask me to explain why)

I was thinking of QM when I wrote that post.
its also entirely possible that we’ve reached the limits of human understanding (for now), and hence events that are actually deterministic (if you look hard enough) appear to be mostly random to us
QM? Quantum mechanics? Are you so familiar with that subject that you gave it a little nickname?
I’m not familiar with it intimately, but it’s a fairly standard acronym iirc
I see it as a blend. Determinism is macro and free will is micro kinda thing
Our biology compels us to eat for example. How we eat or if we choose to eat is handled by free will.
