Reply to comment by 86LeperMessiah in Quantum philosophy: 4 ways physics will challenge your reality by ADefiniteDescription

Randomness does not explain libertarian free will - agreed.

But concluding that libertarian free will must therefore be explained by the non-existence of randomness is not a valid logical step.

If everything in the universe is causally determined, then that does not explain libertarian free will either.

In my view, libertarian free will is self contradictory, and is compatible with neither a deterministic nor a nondeterministic universe.

Yes, libertarian free will is self contradictory, I didn't make it clear that I wasn't making a case for that position in specific, my bad.
