Wrong. What we know is that the universe SEEMS TO BE non-deterministic (to a certain degree; a particle cannot move as far as it wants from a certain point; hence the stochastic, probabilistic nature of the location of matter at the sub-atomic level). From the perspective of an omnipotent creature, the momentum and speed of a particle may very well be exactly defined at all times.

quantum mechanics are deterministic and free will can’t exist, even if they weren’t it would never imply free will existed (they aren’t).

lmao I mean you do realize that is still essentially true? Your decisions are still 100% determined. Whether the course of your actions is offset by quantum indeterminacy or not makes literally no difference for your experience. Your actions are still just the unfolding form of that which preceded you. If a random quantum event throws you off it's still, for you, just another cause.
What quantum indeterminacy proves is that causality, as humans understand it, is not actually an absolute rule of things (philosophy deduced this like a million ago already).
But your existence is still contingent on that which is outside your existence, and determinism is still an adequate descriptor of human experience.
In other words, your future isn't more in your control for quantum indeterminacy being a thing. It's more like it's set in stone, and then the stone changes mysteriously, but the fact that it does not change so due to you, or that you'd have any ability to recognize the difference, means that it is not meaningful.

On a macro level, everything behaves deterministically. If it didn't, bridges wouldn't stay up and rockets wouldn't fly to space. Just because things may not be deterministic on the quantum scale (the jury is still out on this, BTW), doesn't mean shit for you or anything you will ever do.

>> No.10224489

>>10221374
No it’s not I’m sick of this stupid interpretation
It just says we don’t understand the mechanisms of particles very well and that we might never be able to because of our fundamentally human limitations as products of evolutionary biology.

Determinism is the only thing that can exist, otherwise you suggest some things have no principles and causes which completely doesn’t make any sense if you think scientifically.
You’re suggesting that everything we’ll ever do regarding this quantum world is useless and unintelligible and that is the bane of human understanding.

How? Whether things at the quantum level are deterministic or not, where does your "will" come from? Either it's deterministic, and you have no will, or it's random, and you have no will.

still doesn't create a mechanism for "free will" to exist that isn't some random RNG shit.

Ecclesiastes is p much about how come if you work hard and lead a good life you don't necessarily get a nice time out of it. So there's no free will in the sense you're not an all powerful being, you are still able to choose what you do but it might amount to nothing.

It's a choice. Not probabilistic (probability is a heuristic) and not deterministic (multiple potential outcomes).

But you still don’t have any control over the “choice”, or do you imagine that your consciousness somehow interacts and determines how your particles function?

They don’t do what they “want” to do
particles don’t have awareness anon.
They act within the confines the causes and principles that govern them determine regardless of anything subjective.
We are of little understanding and therefore prone to conjecture,
But that’s it, there are no evidence supporting the idea anything truly random happens, and certainly no evidence particles “choose” things in the human sense.

Copenhagen interpretation is self-contradictory anyway, so this whole randomness stuff is moot and an artifact of a failed interpretation.
