      @@TNRPISIQ I'm not entirely sure. Previously I was firmly in the determinism camp of believing there was no free will. Now I find myself leaning towards believing exactly what Derek outlined at the end of the video here. That random quantum events in our brain/body could be a form of free will, that not everything is absolutely predetermined. Though of course there is still the question of who is in control of that pseudo "free will" since it's been shown that one can predict the choices we'll make before we consciously make those choices. So perhaps there is still no free will, no real "choice" being made, but it's also not fully predetermined, there's quantum random chance involved and our brains make up a narrative to match that random choice and make us feel like we made that choice to give us agency in our story. Regardless, I'm fascinated by thinking about this all in a fresh new way now.

      ​@@beegemanare quantum events truly random or are we not fully advanced to calculate that?
      thousands of years ago, the people might have thought the moon and it's position sky as random and here we are traveling to moon. My belief is we can't truly stick to one theory at this point. universe may be deterministic or not. I personally believe it's deterministic. but I also believe it's not deterministic so that I can somehow feel I control my life with the free will I have.

    To be clear, by "free will" I mean that your decisions could not be predicted with certainty, even if someone knew everything about all the particles that make up your body. I am not suggesting you have conscious control over your decisions as even current research shows we become conscious of choices *after* we make them.
    I've given my view on the quantum measurement problem but it's called a problem for a reason. No one has it fully worked out quite yet (or maybe this is as fully as it can be worked out). I am not saying that determinism is certainly false, but our scientific theories and observations as they stand today imply that new information is being generated in the universe and this makes it impossible to predict the future with certainty. Some day this view may be overturned.
    To me, for now, time looks like a zipper. Far in the future the possibilities are wide open, but with every passing second time zips up what might be into what actually happened.

    This is such a great video!!! I had seen this video recommended before, but never clicked, but today I decided to and I'm so glad! I'd watched CrashCourse Philosophy's take on determinism vs. free will, but they really didn't acknowledge quantum mechanics at all, and I had an inkling that maybe it had something to do with this, but I didn't have a fleshed out idea. Thanks so much for making this! The perfect application of science to philosophy.

      Don't panic too much. They are getting a lot of this wrong. The second law of thermodynamics isn't actually a law. It contradicts with Newton's second law, which is a law. The second law of thermodynamics is more of a mathematical approximation.
      Also thermodynamic entropy and information entropy are _not_ the same thing. In some ways they are each others opposites, in other ways they are completely different things.

Neither of them exist; becuse the universe, just as human will is between the two. Partly random, partly determistic, which is called probability. There is no definition of freedom of the will beyond spontaneity and randomness. The less predestined something is, the more free it is. If our will is not entirely determinstic, then it is partially free, which is free enough to me. And this is what free means, not something asbtract "I as an idividual decide independently". If your choice is (mostly) indepent, then it is (mostly) random. There is nothing else. No definition beyond that. The (partial) absence of causality is the highest form of freedom. If freedom doesn't mean that, then it doesn't mean anything at all.

    I want to share my thoughts as a physics graduate (only bsc so don't rely on me too much). You made an interesting point in the video about the fact that since entropy is always increasing we need more and more information to describe the current state of the universe which doesn't seem compatible with dereminism. But if you take a box with a gas that is filling only a half of the box, even in a deterministic universe you would still expect the entropy of the gas to increase, so It seems that information increasing with time is somehow compatible with determinism.

    • @hdjd301
      @hdjd301 ปีที่แล้ว

      In your example the increase in entropy is only apparent but not real; if determinism is true the state of the box at t2 could be described by its state at t1, the laws of physics and the timestamp ´t2´.
