9 min video begins with a summary of Sam Harris' position (no free will), then attempts to methodically undermine the arguments against FW by bringing in some concepts from Any Rand. A central idea in the rebuttal to Harris revolves upon agent causation originating in the mind. Drawing upon the work of many quantum physicists and geniuses such as John H. Conway, evidence is presented showing that the universe is fundamentally indeterminate and that making choices cannot be reduced to determinism. Furthermore (says the speaker), it's incumbent on determinists to provide evidence for it, not for the "Libertarians" to disprove determinism. Numerous physicists weigh in on the subject, with an overall conclusion that QM undermines determinism and that agent causation arising in the mind can't be reducible to it. The video is followed by another called "How Free Will Works".
