There’s an excellent 2hr or so podcast episode on free will that has drastically changed my mind on the notion of determinism. The main argument is that the notion of “choice” is in fact an illusion and when you dive into what you’re actually doing when you “choose” you realize that it’s really just determinism under the hood.

In other words a deterministic universe is actually completely consistent with our experience once you realize that the mechanism of us “choosing” anything is really an illusion.

Highly recommend it.
