Fine, most people dont have Free Will.
I concede, most people dont have free will. This is implied directly by the available evidence.
If people had free will, they wouldnt hsve a statistical near-certain chance of staying in a religion they were born in well into adulthood. Wed see way more religion-hopping and atheism.
If people had free will, there would not be a near cwrtain chance that they adopt the same political beliefs as their parents and college friends.
If people had free will, they wouldnt feel loyal to their country or government just for having been born there. Youd see more anti-nationalism, more anarchism, and people whod rather fly flags of random other countries.
If people had free will, they wouldnt take it on faith that taxation and government is necessary for society at all.
If people had free will, there would not be pointless cultural traditions and holidays that serve no purpose other than to line company pockets or make an excise to see your family (which you could already do, and would be doing, if you had free will)
If people had free will advertising wouldnt work. Showing something to someone a bunch of times wouldnt make them want to buy it. Yet it does.
And if people had free will, the first thing they do when they ponder this disvission wouldnt be to reflect on their life, realize how shallow and predictanle it all was, and feel as if they dont have free will. Nobody that exercises their free will to the fullest would feel like they overall do not have it.
The evidence is mounted, and most people very obviously dont have free will. They are easy to manipulate mind-slaves of people more intelligent than they are.
But theres some of us, to whom the above criticisms do not apply to. Not one iota of it.
