Does free will exist? If so, how does it work?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1541801


Although things do happen the way they will happen; choice and choosing cannot be predetermined or illusory. “Man is free to choose to the extent of his knowledge that guides him.
 Quoting: Eternium


How does it work then? If it is deterministic then it is not free and if it is random then it is not will. Or is it that no free will is bad therefore, free will.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1541801


Exactly, duality is the illusion. Maybe spontaneous is the word I'm looking for here, when hinting at the universe, and us happening.
 Quoting: Eternium


I am not saying I know the answer but I do think it is a fundamental question, maybe one of the most fundamental questions. The problem I see is that if it cannot be defined or explained it is a meaningless concept, therefore, it needs some sort of definition or explanation. Otherwise it is nothing.
