Free will can only exist if we had the supernatural ability to change the past. This idea is something lots of people really don’t like, so they come up with all sorts of ways to magic their way out of it like thinking the supernatural is real, rejecting the scientific method, and/or inconsistent ideas like compatibilism.
We sort of do and don’t. Determinism or not the Heisenberg uncertainty principle means that people can make decisions which are completely unpredictable.
Does uncertainty or our inability to predict it, mean we can will it? How are we outside how everything else in the universe works? Are our brains magical? Do we have souls?
