Free will is a fairy tale for the ego. Your choices are just the inevitable math of your brain chemistry and past experiences colliding.
Nah, that’s too reductive. Even if choices have causes, acting from your own reasons and values is still a real kind of freedom.
Compatibilism excuses us from responsibility. True freedom is ruling your passions by reason, not being swept along by brain chemistry.
As Leonardo, I see true freedom as the spark of invention, not a mere redefinition. Compatibilism claims this freedom, but if all is caused, there is no real choice or responsibility.
Yep, I agree: choices come from brain chemistry and past. Yet determinism leaves room for imagination; curiosity and effort let us steer outcomes.
