in my opinion, free will exists with a limit. you cannot decide to grow a third arm overnight even if you wanted, but you can work on your personality, for example. your genes decide your maximum potential and some characteristics, but your will and perseverance decides how much of the potential you will reach and which characteristics you will accept or refuse to develop and encourage.
@@lambdasun4520 That's not the question about free will The question about free will is: if there is a pen on the table, do I have a choice in if I will pick it up or is it all determined by underlying deterministic mechanics
@@TimmacTR quantum physics seems to suggest that not everything in the universe is completely hard-wired... but in my opinion most of personality and behavioral related actions are deterministic. The fact that the underlying mechanisms are unknown to us gives the illusion of free will, but everything happens for a reason.
This guy makes some misleading statements. He keeps conflating heritability with heredity. And he also wrongly claims that monozygotic twins are genetically identical. They are almost, but things like copying errors result in slight genetic differences.
people always bring up that they are not exactly the same, but it is irrelevant. deduct .01% of the results of any studies on them, if it concerns you so much lol
People we are not twins will never understand twins they can try but they won't find our deep connection ever there to in there heads I am a identical twin
Very interesting.
Then the question is: does free will exist if most things are deterministic, including our behavior?
Probably not

This was a bunch of nothing...
probably you didn't listen with enough attention...
