    That doesn’t mean its proven, either. The quantum mechanical world does not appear to fit our deterministic models. It suggests those models are only approximations of reality, that they only have a useful predictive capacity within a cosmically narrow set of conditions.

      Maybe there’s a bit of pure randomness in the universe, how’s that a point for free will.

        it’s unknown, the bit of the map that says “here be dragons”. Maybe there is some quantum component to the phenomenon we’re calling free will. Maybe it’s just a hallucination of meat. To say one or the other definitively isn’t happening, that it does not exist, would be a crude misrepresentation of the research.
