I agree my view is naive, but from the standpoint of knowledge of the matter since I am not a scientist and I am new to rationality overall.
I am not naive in the sense that I support free will just for the sake of it, for political or idealistic reasons. Personally I prefer the truth rather than a “feel good” moment.
I am very open to learn and discuss these issues and I hope LessWrong is a good place for this.
No problem! Also, just in case you didn’t know and thought I was criticizing you for not knowing enough: “naive” has a special meaning around here; it basically means a viewpoint based on an understanding that’s no longer supported by the latest developments. For instance, many of Aristotle’s views are now considered naive, although they certainly weren’t back in his day!
