I’m writing my big senior paper on the paradox of free will. Here’s a quote of inspiration:
“So it starts to look like whether it’s God setting things up in advance and knowing everything you’re gonna do or whether it’s these basic physical laws governing everything, there’s not a lot of room left for freedom. So now you might be tempted to just ignore the question, ignore the mystery of free will. Say, ‘Oh, well, it’s just an historical anecdote. It’s sophomoric. It’s a question with no answer. Just forget about it.’ But the question keeps staring you right in the face.”
