he didnt make a single argument against us being a clockwork or against determinism. the concept of free will isnt even coherent. what could it possibly mean? how could that possibly work? i think you can argue that if there was some mechanism that was truly random, at a quantum level or whatever, then that would be an argument against determinism, but it would still be something similar to determinism, like a deterministic reality with some amount of randomness, and nothing at all like whatever people think free will means.
Good points. I believe each and every day we have choices to make. Are we going to use our time, and resources to do good or to do bad? Some people would say that the choice is an illusion. There is no Free Will. Jordan Peterson and others have tried to explain why people do have free will in their own ways.

The impulse of the will is for pleasure, and love. Bad is an imposition, that causes suffering. What will is free, that chooses suffering? How can it stand, as something that gets what it wants? Should good be determined (and, outside rationality) then will that chooses it regardless, is shown mercy, with pleasure and love as consequents.
@@Tim_Climie "Which is determined: good, or bad" Good question. I guess the stories we tell ourselves determine that. For me, I'm Christian. So what is good and what is bad is what is written in the Gospels. I'm a sinner and don't claim to always do good, but I strive to not judge, not be arrogant, love everyone, and forgive. Those are on the top of my list in terms of good and bad.
I believe Free Will is real. And we should use it to better the lives of others. What do you believe?
The background music loop, its honestly just distracting and annoying
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it :)
