Re:Is true free will possible? by Quinzel on Friday June 21, 2024 @06:11AM (#40747983)
I’m a hard determinist, so I think no, free will is not possible.

I think the illusion of free will comes from having self-awareness.

Still, even as a hard determinist, when I go about my day, making “my choices”, I believe I am consciously deciding, I would even go as far as to say that I have a strong internal locus of control. It’s only when I stop to think about it, that I always end up deciding that nothing I’ve done is the result of pure free will, and rather it’s very much determined by things way beyond my control.
