Challenging the Assumption of Determinism
The speaker questions the assumption of determinism in the context of the existence of cognitive systems within the universe. They argue that assuming determinism overlooks the challenge of how agents would emerge in such a universe and why living organisms would exist at all. The speaker emphasizes that physics does not definitively support determinism, highlighting the flaw of starting the free will debate with this premise.
