A Definition of Free Will




Q. "Free-will is the inability of an intelligent, self-aware mechanism to predict its own future actions due to the logical impossibility of any mechanism containing a complete internal model of itself rather than this inability being due to] any inherent indeterminism in the mechanism's operation. "
Per evolutionary biology, there is no such thing as free will. We are just follow our eternal mandate imprinted in us by Natural selection to do what we must to survive.. i.e. bombing the crap outta Afghanistan, Serbia, and and American bombing of Nagosaki and Hiroshima.

A. Strange. You appear not to have read the excerpt you have quoted above. Even by the terms of evolutionary biology, there is "free will" by the definition that Jim2002 provided. You seem to be basing your argument on the definition that Jim2002 explicitly denied - an inherent indeterminism in the mechanism's operation - which would be excluded by the terms of evolutionary biology. .
