@mindbrainbodylab: Common Arguments FOR Free Will 👇🏻 Emergent Conscious Choice: Some argue that free will “emerges” from the brain’s complex systems in ways that can’t be predicted by looking at neurons alone—yet does that complexity truly break the chain of cause and effect, or is it just another layer of determinism? If your thoughts emerge from lower-level processes, do you really originate them, or are you more like a conduit for processes beyond your control? Quantum Indeterminacy: Others point to quantum randomness to claim the future isn’t fully set—yet is randomness enough to ground genuine choice? Does an unpredictable event inside your brain count as your decision, or is it just another external force acting on you? Compatibilism (Desires & Reasons): The idea here is that being “free” means acting in line with your own desires, even if your genetics and environment causally shape those desires—so if your wants themselves are molded by factors you never chose, are they truly your wants? Moral & Social Necessity: Some insist free will must exist because society depends on personal responsibility—but can’t we still hold each other accountable in a deterministic framework by focusing on prevention, rehabilitation, and understanding cause and effect? Personal Experience of Choice: Many people say, “I feel free”—but can a feeling be enough evidence that we actually shape our own destinies? If neuroscience shows the brain decides seconds before we’re consciously aware, then is our sense of choice just a convincing afterthought? Drop your thoughts below! Would love to discuss this. #freewill #debate #arguements #science #brain #stitch
