Default Re: The Illusion of Free Will

The claim that everything is deterministic is false (Quantum mechanics disproves it), so you can't claim that free will doesn't exist simply because "everything is deterministic". It's a persuasive claim until you come to that realization, though.

Psychology explains a lot, but once you know a bit of psychology you can easily avoid the common pitfalls.
