I want more of him talking on free will.
You can read more about in his book “ until the end of time”
Great talk. Monism makes sense in this context that the mind is the brain. The mind is not forced by the physics of the brain to act in a particular way. The mind is the brain - at least its part which has figured out how to be conscious.
Watching this while high really opens d mind. When it comes down to it, you do stuff either because you want to, or because you are forced to. You choose neither.
There is no free will....
So who forced you to write this? 😭😭

The notion of responsibility is completely incompatible with determinism. Our scientific understanding of reality is so rudimentary, we have no idea if the actual laws are compatible with free will or not. Determinism is as faith-based as free will, but that camp doesn't like to hear it.
Reason why Free will exists
1. The free will theorem implies our nature is simlar to particles where the decisions are not a function of the past
2. The laws of the universe are designed in such a way to give us higher functions and the idea of free will and god. Do you think this is a coincidence?
3. Genetically cloned rats makes different decisions in the same environment
4. Neuroplasticity is found where you can shape your brain from your thoughts
5. Quantum mechanics completely debunks that this is a deterministic universe which is complete the founding principle of determinsm
6. Peter Tse's concept of neuronal free will in regards to quantum mechanics
7. Near death experience studies. Extremely unlikely to be confabulated as they do not have religious backgrounds and they occur during no brain activity.
Recorded by many medical professionals who are extremely scientific. Even some scientific skeptics have ridiculous arguments
8. We all have a concept of free will and it certainly feels that way.
9. You can find cases of people who have certain genes for certain personality traits in a certain environment yet become completely different people
Spread the word. The determinists are wrong.
I think this view is too "mechanical" in a way. Looking at a car, for example, it is a totally physical object, made of particles that do whatever the laws of nature dictate. Yet there is nothing it does by itself, at least not in terms of motion. For this the driver has to excert their willpower and instruct the car accordingly. In somewhat the same way the human body does not move about without its "owner", the concsious self, deciding to get up and move. Actually have recently tested this by willfully staying in bed several days in a row (mostly anyway), and let me assure you my body was there the entire time 😃
