I know free will exists because I refuse to believe that me jerking off to freaky penis-neck girls on /d/ was in any way predetermined.

any textbook intro to quantum mechanics

Given sufficient information about the state of every particle in the universe, a complex enough computer could probably determine all future actions you take. We are organisms beholden to chemistry, simply reacting to stimulus in ways that prolong our lives enough to have and care for offspring.

Free will is schizophrenic. How can you choose something, if you can't even choose to be born.

The paper The Impossibility of Moral Responsibility by Galen Strawson

https://philosophy.as.uky.edu/sites/default/files/The%20Impossibility%20of%20Moral%20Responsibility%20-%20Galen%20Strawson.pdf

>There is an argument, which I will call the Basic Argument, which appears to prove that we cannot be truly or ultimately morally responsible for our actions. According to the Basic Argument, it makes no difference whether determinism is true or false. We cannot be truly or ultimately morally responsible for our actions in either case.

>The Basic Argument has various expressions in the literature of free will, and its central idea can be quickly conveyed. (1) Nothing can be causa sui - nothing can be the cause of itself. (2) In order to be truly morally responsible for one's actions one would have to be causa sui, at least in certain crucial mental respects. (3) Therefore nothing can be truly morally responsible.
