>Quantum randomness disproves determinism.
t. Doesn't Understand Physics

There are two obvious objections to this. (1) Quantum mechanics is a model of the universe, not an insight into how the universe itself works; there could be an even smaller, deterministic system underneath that we just don't understand yet. (2) Quantum randomness only occurs on very small scales; once you hit the size of a large molecule, things behave deterministically, so even if we take QR as the ultimate, capital-t Truth, it has 0 relevance to discussions about free will, or determinism as most determinists take it.
