The universe being a simulation explains why free will doesn't exist (we are just programs in a computer) and also means that maths are a subset of computer science.

The scientific consensus is that free will exists.

If the universe is a simulation how do you explain the concept of infinity? How can you program something which has no end such as numbers?

Well yes, demonstrating the scientific consensus that free will exists is proof that the scientific consensus is that free will exists.

Infinity would only be the time since the program started running this a silly question anon. Inside the sim you would have no knowledge of way of measuring what happened before the program started other than "someone plugged it in and turned it on" ala the big bang

There is no scientific basis for thinking that free will exists.
>your genes
>how those genes are expressed
>your memories
>your culture
All of these shape who you are and you didn't have a choice in any of them. Just as a bowling pin doesn't have "free will" to fall over if a bowling ball hits it, neither do you have a choice about which neurons fire at which points and in which way depending on events.

Even a soul (if you believe in that sort of thing) and randomness don't allow for free will, because you didn't choose those either.

You're implying some determining factors have to be chosen for free choice to exist. Why? I find it entirely conceivable that I have not chosen any determinants and yet that I have free will.

Because it is only infinite within the system. Just like a heart pumps for infinity after you are born until you die. Inside the system all you know is it keeps going til it doesn't.

Is that a real question? This happens all the time by accident even when you are trying to write finite programs, creating infinite loops. If you are in a loop that repeats endlessly, from any point, it's infinite in both directions

Free will faggots delude themselves into believing that claim based off of no evidence other than experience. They confuse the thoughts that appear in the awareness of now as them doing the thinking and are uncomfortable with the idea they have no control. All that can be said is the future is uncertain in certain domains and we have a complex experience of the present moment. I ironically feel less inhibited and more spontaneous because I relinquished the desire for control and let things flow naturally, not getting bogged down in overanalyis for "choice".

On the contrary, anti-free will faggots delude themselves out of believing it since they're uncomfortable with the idea of having accountability.

That's false, it could theoretically run infinitely in one direction if it has no valid exit condition and the machine processing the loop is itself indestructible and unstoppable but it cannot be infinite in the reverse direction because you both programmed and started the loop, meaning it always has a finite number of iterations since it began.

One thing I always had trouble with the free will argument is how you even define what free will is exactly and how it's different from not having free will.
