I say it's the other way round.

We are macroscopic beings, and have apparent free will. It doesn't prove right when we examine it further, though.

And even if it was random: it still wouldn't prove free will.

Yep, I do agree that traditional views of free will may well be as flawed as views of say, the Cartesian Theater.

I was just talking about randomness itself, not implications upon free will, which I agree are dubious.

The other day, I found out that the so called ''randomness" can be explained when considering more dimensions, like about 11.

Has anyone heard of the string theory?
