    I hold the opinion that free will is not compatible in a universe with physics. Decisions can be random, but I don’t think the concept of “free will”, as every decision comes from the randomness of the universe, and outside factors. Not “consciousness”

      How does the fact that point of observation affects the outcome of the experiment fit into this? If there is no consciousness, why does it matter where you observe, as in the case of varying outcomes of the double slit experiment?

        The “observer” doesn’t have to even be conscious.

        I don’t believe in determinism or free will, though. The universe is full of random bullshit and nothing matters 👍
