You don't even bother to try because your so full of yourself.
Complexity of choices - when you wake up in the morning you seemingly have thousands of things you could do. Eat something, call someone on the phone, do a pee, go for a drive, scratch your bum, watch a movie, go back to sleep and so on. It seems like you have the freedom to make that choice.
But any choice you do make is based on something else. And that something else is based on something else and so on, like a chain reaction in reverse all the way back to your birth.
The complexity of choices gives you the illusion of free will.
Even if you try to do something random, that random choice is always the one you would have made at that time.
I don't know if any of that is true.
However, because you have made no attempt to disprove that theory, it seems evident that you do not understand it.
If you don't agree, give me a reason.
A laughing on the ground emoji is not an answer.
I'm sorry but your assumption is wrong.
You think because I have a given set of actions that I could perform like play football, go for a bike ride, go to the beach etc and when I chose to perform any one of these actions it is dependent on my past experience then I have no free will?
How does my actions being dependent on my previous actions have any weight on my ability to choose from a set of actions that I could perform?
