+GrilledChickenTV Don't worry nothing will change regardless does it exists or not. Your actions still have consequences. If something now you're aware that things affect people. Hence you are capable of improving yourself by putting yourself into position which favors for change.

+Greg K Ooo been a while since I saw someone who knows the real meaning of religious free will. Not that many people realize that free will originally was the thing which made us different from inanimate objects. It had literally nothing to do with a choice.

+yoni0505 In order for free will to exists, then it needs to run on magic. It would literally make no sense that there is a free will without ghost in machine. Because free will implies that somehow you're able to change the laws of physics. That some magical force in you can choose how chemistry works in your brain and what does it do. Anyway whole concept of free will is retarded. And most religious people don't even know what free will did originally mean. It was simply suppose to make us different from inanimate objects not to have magical ability.

Spinner891 It makes, it's merely a by product of the chemical activity in your brain. Every Thought you go through. You brain has already gone it through long time ago.

Spinner891 there was BBC documentary about this ten years ago. There was machine which could predict your choice 5 seconds before you make it knowingly.

Spinner891 don't remember, something very simple. Yes and no thing. Obviously you scan the brain while doing it and have computer algorithm checking out your brain activity. It's not like it can predict every move you do. That would demand even more study by itself.

Spinner891 Nah, once you take all the factors in there is nothing we can't predict. Just like throwing a dice.

Spinner891 Empirical, that's the point. " If that is the case, and given advanced enough hard/software, we should be able to recreate an artificial human brain from scratch. So why aren't we doing that? " I did already explain that. Huoh.. Do I really need to go into very depth of details of human brains? I try to explain as simple as possible. Every human have own distinct brain pattern. Some are similar a bit, but all are different. You know why? Because we all know different stuff and have different experiences in our life time. Which is why our growing brains ends up looking bit different. But when you for example start desiring for ice cream. A certain part in your brain has more activity. This part can change slightly depending on person. But if we scan your brain and study it long enough, we can determine what you're wanting or thinking currently. However it means that your brain needs to be "mapped". In order to do this you need complex algorithm. We can actually test when you're thinking certain subject, but before it we need to show you the subject and see what your brain thinks at the moment when seeing it or when trying to imagine it. After that, if you're in machine we can tell what you're thinking. This doesn't mean that it can read it like in movies, because as I stated we don't understand everything perfectly yet. Now our understanding on workings of brains is not complete yet, which is why we cannot create artificial human brain. Not only this, but there are technological problems. For any modern computer to run as efficiently as human brain is impossible task. Sure you can do complex calculations, but human brains are constantly under stress to do the same. Whenever you walk your brain is calculating the right balance and speed for you, while taking account everything happening around you. This is something that no A.I can do.

+Joshua Hults No it doesn't disprove. In fact anyone who claims that they understand Quantum Physics is lying. We don't understand it yet. Hence we cannot say that it disproves anything. "We already know that unless conscious awareness is present, matter does not actually exist." This proves that you literally have clue about Quantum physics. EVer bothered to think why most physicists are atheists and materialists?

3:06. thoughts are just byproduct. You're not really weighting choices, your body is making you going through it's decision making process. This is why it's possible to predict what you will do in 5 seconds before you do it. Because your brain already knows what will happen. The illusion of choice exists even in world which has no free will. It's just like concept of god. World would run perfectly well even without one existing. Same goes for free will. The one thing that you didn't consider at all. Are you making law of physics work around you or do you work around them. In free will you would be ghost in machine, someone who bends laws of physics. While without free will you would be following all of those laws. IF free will did exists then brain damage or illness wouldn't have any affection in our decision making. Also argument from gaps. We have no reason not to think that in future we can't see someone's thoughts. This video isn't evidence for free will. It's simply logical fallacy.
