Even if you had all the information you would still only be able to predict things with various probabilities, but still.. The fact that 100 of you, in the same initial conditions, would do x 70% of the time and y the other 30% *is a law governing your behavior"--not a choice

Well, if the universe is truly deterministic, then you can’t speak of n percent probability (unless n is 100) if you have all the relevant information needed for a specific event. There would be no uncertainty in my prediction (if the universe is deterministic).

There would have to be a quantum uncertainty, not classical uncertainty

That’s why I said “If the universe is truly deterministic.”. If there are quantum limitations, I suppose that wouldn’t be the case.

Also the existence of free will seems to be a huge asymmetry in the human-universe system, unless you're a panpsychist

Also, quantum mechanics doesn’t mean free will is true. Systems that are intrinsically non-deterministic doesn’t equate to human being having the ability to act otherwise (independent laws controlling the system) by their own choosing.

You’re still following the laws of nature, they just happen not to be predictive nor subjects to change by your choice.Even your choices are results of those quantum systems so I don’t see how they are free.

Interesting though...I can choose to reply to this tweet or not reply. That experimentally suggests free will exists....
