The mandation of causal law prevents the possibility of genuine free will. There is a feeling of conscious deliberation when a "decision" is made, yet this feeling in no way validates that free will exists. The notion of free will becomes more and more incoherant the more one investigates it. It is absurd to assume the existence of a "prime mover unmoved."
Some people point to quantum indeterminacy as a way for the human mind/brain to escape cause and effect. Although this sort of thing really belongs in the philosophy section…
Firstly, quantam mechanics in no way can tell us about certain "macro" reality things such as free will. Also, the indeterminacy of quanta is only a theory, not yet proven. Lastly, there is a philosophy section? didnt see it but i figured human science was close...
