I personally subscribe to the MWI (Many Worlds Interpretation), and if true, this means that my actions have no control whatsoever in shaping the world I'm. Things just are, and you can't control shit. Logically and mathematically, MWI makes the most sense out of QM, but I always hope it isn't true, and continue living as if it's not.
It really is not relevant though. We can acknowledge the probability of other universes but in the end we choose to do things. We make choices that are in the present so seem to be free will. Thinking they are not free will would do what exactly? Would it alter our choices? Apparently altering our choices would be impossible or so I'm told. My opinion is free will "seems" to be here right now therefore it actually is. We are all literally making choices every moment. Until it is proven otherwise (with certainty).
It's like atheism. There seems to be no god. Even if there is no way to tell that there isn't, we have to go with what we can perceive. Until it is proven otherwise (with certainty)
