View submission: The irony of determinism
It depends on what you mean by “cause”. If you mean probabilistic cause there is a chain of branching probabilities. If you mean sufficient cause, which is the same as determined, there is a single actual chain (or, for the sake of completeness, in a multiverse an actually branching chain rather than a chain of branching possibilities). If there is probabilistic causation then determinism is false and libertarian free will potentially exists.

I didn't think you would pick one. Your pick depends on what you mean by cause and not what I mean because you constantly conflate causality and determinism on this sub so you can mind fuck the other posters who are not as intelligent as you are.
