I just changed the title, I posted it as 'on Free Will, Language, and Political Power" It's the title of the book but not exactly what the video is about. Sorry, bad choice of words on my part.

If I proved that determinism is true, would you choose to believe in it?

I think it is the truth and it will be proven to be such at some point. However I think people underestimates how complex reality is. I think the amount of chaos is so out of control under so many levels that we do not have the mental power to compute what is going to happen next. Although some people are pretty good at it.

But if what I said is true it will be 100% possible to simulate a human with a computer. Although that could have been said in the other case as well. I have not religions belief and I am perfectly happy to think of my self as a biological robot just trying to find a bit of peace in this world.
