Many would argue that free will is non-materialistic (extra- or -supra natural), if we have no free will, then these HN comments are inevitable due to the laws of physics though, so no use arguing if it is materialistic since it’s inevitable :)

Trying the argument out on such a futile actions as HN comments isn't that telling.

There was a time when a convoluted bio-mechanical system traveled to the Moon and back. Could you do me a favor and re-run that line of thought on that? The Apollo was inevitable and so the biological elements of it should have done... What exactly?...

I'm honestly lost here, I don't ponder about non-materialistic free will anymore.

My favorite is that if there is no free will, then Burger King coupons are somewhere in Maxwell’s equation…
Yes, I do think Burger King coupons are somewhere in Maxwell’s equation. I'd be honestly interested on the Apollo 11 thing though.
Perhaps. Perhaps we will live every moment again and again forever.

But we still don't have any proof of anything supernatural.

Just as we can’t prove most of our lived experience :)

Most things might be true but unprovable.
