Quote:Ah, OK then. Like I said in my latest post "I can only see idea of physical (as in "on this plane") multiverse is sense of potential." I tend to think about idea of multiverse as it is said on stupid documentaries, where every time you make a decision or some quantum mambo jambo universe splits. This, for me, invalidates free will because given choice to go right or left I don't make a choice, simply there are two versions of me, one for each outcome. However, these realities being potential realities and moving to the next one (via your free will or otherwise) is perfectly fine.
In the theory where the universe splits, you not making a decision is still a decision, and the result is still a singular branch splitting off. The issue is simply misunderstanding what's happening. Free will is always present, and this is a very important part of how our universe operates.
There are circumstances in which free will is limited, but there is always free will as to how we respond to whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.
Every action you take is a choice at some level, even if that choice is not to act. You cannot escape free will, because without free will, the whole point of the universe collapses.
