Also, Garland's notion of why free will doesn't exist and a deterministic universe are both intellectually lackadaisical.,(reply>), When asked the question, he literally says "With the qualification that I'm a layperson and am not an expert..." You're going to ding him for answering the question with the admission that he's not an expert in the field? Well, at the very least I hope you get to feel intellectually superior. Why not pose a more thought-provoking question like, if Garland actually believes in a deterministic world, why does the conclusion of the series Devs end with the deterministic "one worlds" theory failing and the free will "many worlds" succeeding?
