Very interesting podcast. Thank you :)<br>Regarging the free will. People, making assumptions about the absence of free will, starting from the argument of fixed states of a quantum system, forget or do not know about such a phenomenon as "emergence", which is inherent in any structures of multilevel complexity. This is when the result of the interaction is super-additive and acquires properties that are not inherent in its individual components. A great example is kitchen salt NaCl, which in fact consists of metal + poisonous gas. Similar manifestations of superadditivity are very common. Mass, charge, gravity, hardness, fluidity, etc. are all emergent phenomena. Thus, self-awareness is an emergent phenomenon. So is free will. Someone does not have it, and someone acquires it as a result of the work of complex constructs of consciousness.
