I'm curious where everyone sits on the poll. I was reading Determined by Robert Sapolsky and it was dense and heavy but so far interesting.

If you do or don't believe in free will, why or why not? Please join in on this conversation whatever your views!

Personally I believe that free will is an illusion, because our actions are determined by determinism, chaos theory and randomness of partial physics. The quandary to me is why did natural selection create consciousness if there is no such thing as free will?
