Physicist Dr. Kevin Wong argues that quantum mechanics does not support free will, despite popular claims that quantum indeterminacy introduces freedom.
Which philosophical analysis would best support Wong's critique?
Quantum mechanics is complex
Physics describes particles
Random quantum events would make decisions arbitrary, not free; meanwhile, quantum effects decohere at the scale of neural activity anyway—so quantum mechanics offers either randomness or determinism, neither of which constitutes free will
Philosophers debate free will
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. Randomness ≠ freedom argument + decoherence blocking mechanism addresses both popular claims.
💡 Strategy: Debunking claims need logical analysis of why proposed mechanism fails to deliver claimed effect.
