- On a scale of 0-10, how confident are you that this claim is true? To be clear, I am not asking you if you think Einstein was right about everything being determined. I am asking whether we could still have free will if we assume Einstein was right. Please bear in mind that a 0 expresses absolute confidence that this claim is false and a 10 expresses absolute confidence that this claim is true. If you are absolutely confident, then you have no doubt at all that you are right. Here is one way to think about that. If I am absolutely confident in my belief, then it makes sense for me to be willing to bet anything and everything that I am right. So absolute confidence means I think it would be sensible to bet my life and the life of everyone I love to gain a single dollar, because I think there is no chance that I am wrong.
