Ask HN: If all events are random or deterministic is there free will
I’m going back and forth with my father in law about whether or not free will exists (beats talking about politics) and I stumbled into an idea and was curious if it made sense.
I’m supposing that all events are the result of a train of consequences (determinism) or are completely random (quantum stuff). Is this correct?
If so wouldn’t this rule out the possibility of “free-will” since your choice will either be completely random and without cause or it’s the result of the history of the universe that put you here now?
