But actually what it is is determinism is built over lineages because things get selected to exist and they become part of the regular structure of our universe.

So determinism itself is an emergent property and things that are very deterministic like us actually have more causal control over the kind of things that can happen to them, but they can't control everything.

So we have limited free will.

Like I couldn't be home in Arizona this exact second, but I can be there later today because I planned ahead for it.

Like that's where your free will executes over time.

Yeah.

I mean, to think that the universe is all like one human concept anyway is too simplistic.

It's like it's deterministic or it's not deterministic.

Actually, you know, there are cases where you can model it as being deterministic because you're looking at the past and there are places you cannot model it as being deterministic because you're looking at the future.

And I think that's a pretty simple concept and very evident when you're looking at living things like no one can predict the future technologies like are the future of the biosphere.

Right.

Some of the information's there.

Like we were talking about before, like maids will probably still be present 50 years from now.

So like I might be able to predict some things about the future, but the novelty is really hard.

Intuition is a big one for me.

I always find that very mysterious.

Right.

I 100% agree.

We know how our universe works.

You can't have free will.
