I have Faith
I find the endless threads about free will versus determinism tiresome and irresolvable. The same with the associated randomness threads. And then it suddenly occured to me, I have Faith!
I have Faith in free will. I cannot prove that I have free will. The closest I could come is argumentum ad ignorantium, which is clearly fallacious and I am always quick to snap people off for, so it's no proof at all.
Yet I am utterly convinced that I have free will. If I don't it's a fantastically good illusion. I have Faith.
So this is what it's like.
