You know how one of the bit's of data about NDEs is that they might happen less often from head injuries? Well I'm going to personally test that theory when I slam my head into the kitchen countertop from reading this conversation.
This entire conversation is just:
- Here's some examples of how things might happen non deterministic and non randomly
- Okay but how do those things happen
We don't KNOW how they happen because we're trying to measure everything with determinism and randomness. It's like asking what happens at the middle of a black hole, we can't give you a good answer because our rules don't work there.
If that's not good enough for you then that's fine, we're not trying to religiously convert you. But know that, other than just assuming determinism applies to everything at every level, there isn't actually any solid evidence to disprove every form of free will either. Compatibilism is still a fine option. I'm personally a compatibilist and it's a comfortable and majority spot among contempary academic philosophers.
Now for some other, ACTUALLY interesting points about free will that haven't just been repeated a million times over.
I wonder how something like PSI evidence would play into the discussion. Nonlocality or some kind of immeterial consciousness would definitely be a point in libertarianism's favour, alongside something like PK, but then things like feeling the future experiments would be something that might be an obstacle.
