Does Free Will actually exist? Is there a way to tell?

February 2, 2015 at 8:46 am

Free will is a matter of perspective. If someone had the ability to travel to the end of time and document everything that happened then from that perspective "free will" would not exist.

However, if the ability to look into the future was impossible then "free will" does exist.

Since the Past and the Future are both constructs of the mind and do not actually exist, I conclude that "free will" does exist.
