Do we have Freewill?

I came up with this few months ago and wrote it down, saved it in notepad. now I just rediscovered the file and I decided to post it here.

"I was thinking the other day and have come up with a theory."

If the Universe is just one big program that is running everything, a simulation in a way, just a bunch of complex rules, if, else, not, etc..., and the tiniest bits of particles are the pixels, which is, like binary, just governed by just two different values.

and what we see in our eyes are just our Advanced Intelligence's 3D interpretation of what the program is processing right now.

Then that would mean we don't have free will at all, and there is no point parallel universes, No point in alternate history, There is no randomization, Its just one big movie.

Everything and Everyone has a definite path from the start. Its just a matter of "key" when if comes to encryption. and that key has already been defined. by whom or what, I don't know.

Imagine something happening in real life, observe the results, then imagine it happening again, having the exact same conditions, same exact particles, same position in the universe, same air movement, same everything. it would produce the exact same result right?

Just look at it, You can't really produce real random numbers in a software. you need a physical device. That physical device in turn is governed by the universe which in my opinion another more complex software that is also not truly random.


if you observe something happening, It is not entirely random, there are reasons why it happened, The reason why we say something is "random" is because there's too many factors going on that is way more than the human's [B]capacity[/B] to be able to predict, determine and judge.

But I can tell that we are really advancing on that "capacity". Years ago we can't predict the weather, Now we can know the probability of raining or not, and etc, maybe we are still missing in alot of factors to be able to completely predict these kind of things.

for example you observe a paper falling to the ground, why did such an object move that way? too many factors going on, to name a few..  the object's position, the things around it, air, gravity, pressure, temperature, the condition of the things around it, the properties of the object itself, and so on.

Get the same exact things/conditions again and simulate it = same thing will happen over and over again. that means there are no dynamic events, no randomization, no free will.

What buggles me now that you mention it is the human brain and our capacity to [B]assign and interpret our own values from nothing[/B]. Its the only thing from what I know that is hard to think as being pre-determined and predictable.

I dunno if we can really create random values in our brain or it is just an illusion of freewill, An illusion in a way that our actions and our future actions are actually already defined as well, We are just given an illusion that we can think and create on our own, but really what we come up with is what the universe is exactly expecting for us to do.

Yea, I can choose whether to go left or right, I was given a choice and I'd gone left, Not knowing that left was really the predetermined choice I was gonna take. by what affecting factors? We don't know.

What if there's no freewill and what we have is the appearance or the illusion of freewill?

This is a great scene from the incredible movie "Walking Life" talking about freewill, predetermination, and randomization. Please do watch the video
