Opponents to determinists are indeterminists, but rarely have heard of that term. Indeterminists instead self-identify under a number of religions and philosophies which believe in [[cartesian dualism]], which is the idea that everything is determined except brain activity in humans. [[Soft determinists]] believe in free will and try to awkwardly reframe [[cartesian dualism]] as part of the natural world. | ||
