More like: my thoughts are implemented by the interaction of the atoms in my brain, but there is no meaningful relation between the content of my thoughts, and how the atoms in my brain flipped their coins.
There is a relationship between your brain state and your thoughts, which is that your thoughts are entirely
constituted by, and predictable from, your brain state. Moreover, the temporal sequence of your thoughts is constituted by and predictable from you the evolution of your brain state, whether it is determinsitic or indeterministc.
I see no grounds for saying that your thoughts lack a “meaningful” connection to your brain states in the indeterministic case only, … but then I don’t know that you mean by “meaningful”. Care to taboo it for me?
My point is that technically there is an interaction between the content of my thoughts and how the individual atoms in my brain flip their coins (because the “concent of my thoughts” is implemented by positions and movements of various atoms in my brain), but there is still no meaningful correlation. It’s not like thinking “I want to eat the chocolate cake now” systematically shifts the related atoms in my brain to the left side, and thinking “I want to keep the chocolate cake for tomorrow” systematically shifts the related atoms in my brain to the right side.
No. Its more like identity. You seem, to be saying that your thoughts aren’t non -physical things are causing physical brain states. That’s something. Specifically, it is a refutation of interactionist dualism...but, as such it doesn’t have that much to do with free will, as usually defined. If all libertarian theories were a subset of interactionist theories, you would be on to something,, but they are not.
The conclusion is that while technically how the atoms flip their coins has some relation with the content of my thoughts, the relation is meaningless.
Taboo meaningless, please.
Expecting it to somehow explain the “free will” means searching for the answer in the wrong place, simply because that’s where the magical quantum streetlight is.
Saying it is the wrong answer because it is the wrong answer is pointless. You need to find out what naturalistic libertarianism actually says, and then refute. It.
The aspects that are “unpredictable in principle” are irrelevant to whether it seems rational and agentive.
So much the better for naturalistic libertarianism , then. One of the standard counterargument to it is that the more
free you are , the less rational you would be.
A stone rolling down the hill is technically speaking “unpredictable in principle”, because there is the “Heisenberg’s uncertainty” about the exact position and momentum of its particles, and yet it doesn’t seem rational nor agentive.
Which would refute the claim that indeteminism alone is a sufficient condition for rationality and agency. But that claim is not made naturalistic libertarianism. Would it kill you to do some homework?
