𝙸𝚜 𝙵𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚁𝚎𝚊𝚕 - IV of V

But you should also reflect on the physicist's take...

As much as classical mechanics is deterministic (the entire future and past state of a system can be determined - a la Laplace's demon), quantum mechanics allows for randomness in the outcomes of experiments due to quantum uncertainty (but we have no control over those outcomes).

The free will theorem of John H. Conway and Simon B. Kochen states that if we have free will in the sense that our choices are not a function of the past, then, subject to certain assumptions, some elementary particles must also have free will.
