That is a presumption some people have.
Is that your presumption? |
After much contemplation I have come to the conclusion that I don't know. It's a possibility, I know of no way to verify it.

:D I like it. |

As far as I can tell, I can choose which shirt to wear but I can't choose to teleport to work.
Quantum indeterminacy has limited probabilites, dunnit?

Does that mean you are presuming quantum indeterminacy might be involved in choosing shirts?
Or at least consider it a possibility?
|
If someone could should how quantum indeterminacy ... er... determines... which of my neurons are more likely to fire in a given circumstance, I'd consider it. At the moment it doesn't seem likely. And yes I think we're purely physical creatures, but calling that "just chemistry" misses much sublime richness.
I'm saying there are parallels between the two, in that all 'freedoms' are limited.
The image I have used before is a kite on the string in the wind, blown around in turbulence but held within limits by the string (no i'm not going to talk about sting theory, that's way over my head. I mean a metaphorical kite string).
