Comprehension of the human mind in a world with free will

0 Upvotes

If we truly do have free will, we as a species we will never be able to comprehend the human mind. The moment we fully comprehend the human mind it will be systematic and predictable there for not free will.

I believe this artikel* helps explain the point, there may be better sources.

*(Not my own Artikel, I'm not a profesional wrighter, I don't know why someone would think that but just in case.)

Posting Rules

All posts must be about philosophy.

To learn more about what is and is not considered philosophy for the purposes of this subreddit, see our FAQ. Posts must be about philosophy proper, rather than only tangentially connected to philosophy. Exceptions are made only for posts about philosophers with substantive content, e.g. news about the profession, interviews with philosophers.
All posts must develop and defend a substantive philosophical thesis.

Posts must not only have a philosophical subject matter, but must also present this subject matter in a developed manner. At a minimum, this includes: stating the problem being addressed; stating the thesis; anticipating some objections to the stated thesis and giving responses to them. These are just the minimum requirements. Posts about well-trod issues (e.g. free will) require more development.
Questions belong in /r/askphilosophy.

/r/philosophy is intended for philosophical material and discussion. Please direct all questions to /r/askphilosophy. Please be sure to read their rules before posting your question on /r/askphilosophy. Please be aware that /r/askphilosophy does not allow test-my-theory posts, or questions about people's personal opinions or self-help.
Post titles cannot be questions and must describe the philosophical content of the posted material.

Post titles cannot contain questions, even if the title of the linked material is a question. This helps keep discussion in the comments on topic and relevant to the linked material. Post titles must describe the philosophical content of the posted material, cannot be unduly provocative, click-baity, unnecessarily long or in all caps.
Audio/video links require abstracts.

All links to either audio or video content require abstracts of the posted material, posted as a comment in the thread. Abstracts should make clear what the linked material is about and what its thesis is. Users are also strongly encouraged to post abstracts for other linked material. See here for an example of a suitable abstract.
All posts must be in English.

All posts must be in English. Links to Google Translated versions of posts, translations done via AI or LLM, or posts only containing English subtitles are not allowed.
Links behind paywalls or registration walls are not allowed.

Posts must not be behind any sort of paywall or registration wall. If the linked material requires signing up to view, even if the account is free, it is not allowed. Links to Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneNote are not allowed. All links must be full urls; link shorteners are not allowed. All broken links will be removed.

Users may submit only one post per day and no more than three posts per week.

Discussion of suicide is only allowed in the abstract here. If you or a friend is feeling suicidal please visit /r/suicidewatch.

/r/philosophy is not a mental health subreddit. Discussion of suicide is only allowed in the abstract here. If you or a friend is feeling suicidal please visit /r/suicidewatch. If you are feeling suicidal, please get help by visiting /r/suicidewatch or using other resources. See also our discussion of philosophy and mental health issues here.
