if free will is real, how come the past is fixed?
according to relativity, time is just another dimension in space, and the past exists today and doesn't get erased. then why aren't people from the 15th century able to change the course of history?
why are they forced to take actions that lead to 2025 as we know it? if we really had free will the timeline would change every few months

>believes in relativity because it seems like its true
>believes in mechanistic causation because it seems like its true
>does not believe in free will even though the hardest determinist still feels like its true within their experience when deciding whats for dinner

there is no real reason to believe any of these things over the other, yet the debate is always shuffled to free will. I for one reject causation. Its all merely coincidence we have read too much into.

free will just means something isnt actively opposing your will to make a decision.

it doesnt have anything to do with determinism.
