That's not a coherent question. Come back when you learn to speak english.

>>7673914
Yes.

No. Your actions are part of many different cause and effect chains that can all be traced back to a time in which you did not exist or have the ability to choose your actions.

>>7673914
What does freedom to choose your actions mean?

Your response seems to imply that "free will" has a definition in the first place. You think you're arguing against it, but you're really making the problem worse by lending legitimacy to the term.

I've heard that quantum mechanics shows that it could be real. I don't have a PhD in it though so I can't tell you anything about it except that I've heard that before.

And a Google search shows that it's definitely a possibility.

In any way you define free-will such that it is not real, that definition is necessarily irrelevant. You will never be omniscient even if the universe is.

>>7674001
Any sane interpretation of QM rules out determinism, but it doesn't imply free will.

Check out Kierkegaard and Sartre
