'choosing' thoughts.

[athoughtfulman]

Where is the evidence? To truly have free will wouldn't we have to be able to override physics? Whether its determined or indetermined?

I like where you're going with that.

To have free will, wouldn't we have to be able to do absolutely anything? Like fly, turn into a tiger, create a universe? Because right now, no matter how much I want to do something like that, I can't. I simply don't have the freedom to do that.

I think I might have freedom to some extent though. Though I'm more in favour of no free will at all, if we did have a choice, it certainly wouldn't be to do anything.

I don't think there will ever be any evidence of free will, only the theoretical discussion about it. We feel free, but we aren't. And since the discussion is theoretical, then it doesn't really matter what we believe, so long as we keep acting as though we have free will.
