What if the equation is a wave function? And the free will is collapsed quantum state?

[-] Nilay@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

When a quantum event collapses in the brain, the result is unpredictable yet this randomness is still not something you control. True free will would require a selection process that is neither purely random nor strictly deterministic, but genuinely willed. Randomness just introduces chaos; it doesn’t produce the sense of "I chose this".

Well, the wave function collapsing to that universal reality 🙃
