Are there any good arguments against Psychological determinism or Hard determinism?

Every thought and action is determined by the result of a previous chain of thought, doesn't that mean that free will doesnt exist?

Psychological Determinism seems more likely. Hard determinism has already been disproven though.

TL;DR determinism destroys logic. Don't try to espouse the former and then make use of the latter.

From another site:
>It is wrong to deduce determinism from logic, because logic is a branch of deductive reasoning, and "deduction tells you what follows from your premises, but does not tell you whether your premises are true."*

>Determinism is a scientific conclusion. It is based on such empirical observations as opium will have certain effects on behaviour, and "constitution" is hard to say when one is drunk. All scientific conclusions are tentative, subject to revision based on new evidence.

>Edit: There is no such thing as logical law; there are only premises.

You mean by quantum mechanics right?

Each thought is followed by the subsequent thought which controls your actions, therefore you have no free will. But the very fact we are consciously aware does seem to refute it though. I don't fucking know believe what you want.
