This is the most anthropomorphization I have ever heard in a science/engineering video lol.

Very cool demonstration though.

I've used ubuntu for years, recently switched to kubuntu and am happy with it, any reasons I should look at switching distros?

I'm capable of fixing things if they go wrong, and like to make my own tweaks occaisionally, but really I just want things to run smoothly without too much fuss.

If the position of everything (particles, subatomic units, energy) is just cause and effect since when everything started, or since any point in time after everything existed regardless of how it came about, then there's obviously no free will.

Hard pills to swallow: atoms don't stop following the laws of physics when they're in the shape of a human brain. behavior and subjectivity are direct results of the matter in your head.

I've seen arguments from scientifically minded folks for why they believe in "free will" and they always involve misunderstanding physics, neuroscience, or free will itself.

It always comes off as cope.

Unfortunately I don't think we can prove or disprove from within reality whether or not it is all deterministic.

It's common for an argument to hinge on the randomness of quantum mechanics (whether quantum randomness is even relevant in brain function is an open question, but it probably isn't), but that confuses free will with unpredicatbility. Do you have "free will" if your behaviors are the result of dice rolls, the outcome of which you cannot control?
