Is free-will (freedom to choose your actions) real?
>>

That's not a coherent question. Come back when you learn to speak english.

>>7673914
Yes.

No. Your actions are part of many different cause and effect chains that can all be traced back to a time in which you did not exist or have the ability to choose your actions.

What does freedom to choose your actions mean?
>>
>>7673990
Your response seems to imply that "free will" has a definition in the first place. You think you're arguing against it, but you're really making the problem worse by lending legitimacy to the term.
>>
>>7673914
I've heard that quantum mechanics shows that it could be real. I don't have a PhD in it though so I can't tell you anything about it except that I've heard that before.
>>
>>7674001
And a Google search shows that it's definitely a possibility.
>>
In any way you define free-will such that it is not real, that definition is necessarily irrelevant. You will never be omniscient even if the universe is.
>>
>>7674001
Any sane interpretation of QM rules out determinism, but it doesn't imply free will.

Check out Kierkegaard and Sartre

a google search shows it's definitely a possibility that a polar bear stole my laundry
