Can Free Will be Saved in a Deterministic Universe?

The video explores the complex relationship between physics, consciousness, and free will. It delves into determinism, exemplified by Laplace's Demon, and examines how quantum mechanics challenges deterministic views. The discussion includes the role of quantum randomness, the limitations of predictability in brain function, and the implications of different interpretations of quantum mechanics on free will. The video also considers emergent phenomena, arguing that free will can exist even within a mechanistic framework, and questions whether free will is an illusion or a meaningful concept.
