Drunken Philosophy: Does free will exist?

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy a casual social and discussion club.

Optional Topic for this meeting: Did you "decide" to come to Drunken Philosophy, or did the laws of physics decide for you?

If every thought, desire, and decision can be traced back to neurons firing and atoms colliding, is “choice” just a clever illusion? Or is there something uniquely human, a spark of freedom, a gift from god, that no equation can explain?

Let’s raise a glass to the age-old question, Are we free agents, cosmic puppets, or just drunk enough to believe we’re in control?
