Free will?
So my philosophy class just started talking about free will. Pretty much, whether or not our actions are chosen by us or if every action has been set up by other events.
Examples(made by me, could be pretty shitty ones): you chose what clothes you're wearing, but was the decision changed by what clothes were clean/missing?
You pick up a pen at random to prove you have free will and chose to pick it up. That was decided for you by me arguing with you over free will and whoever left that pen right there.
I'm curious about what the flood thinks about free will.
I've always thought people had free will. However with actually thinking about it, I'm not sure. I'll develop a better opinion as I think about it more.

An intelligent agent within a closed system will never be able to determine all information within that closed system because of recursive frustrators. Think a long the lines of "this sentence is a lie". It's knowledge influences what is true, so it can never perfectly predict itself. A non interfering observer outside the system would have no problem determining all information within, given the adequate facilities to do so. I suppose there's also fuzzy logic and quantum variation to consider, but I'm no expert in quantum mechanics, so I won't speak to that.
