David Sosa examines the implications of physics in relation to free will. He explains the view, often called hard determinism, which holds that there is no place for free action in a world governed by physical laws since human beings, like everything else in the physical world, are physical things and are thus subject to these same laws. From the film "Waking Life".

I chose to write the words above. I chose to contemplate the notion of free will versus determinism. If I were nothing more than a vessel of some grand, predetermined mechanism that had itself decided, billions of years ago, to write those words - what would be the point of it all?
Why would we try to do anything if it was already written?
Isn’t the joy of a first kiss never having kissed before?
Whence doubt, if it is all out of our control?
