Free Will Doesn’t Exist

I don’t believe truly free choice exist whatsoever. You make some 30,000 choices a day. Most barely or don’t even process in your head consciously. For example you scratch your arm or move your leg basically on subconscious autopilot. No real thought or deliberation.

As for bigger larger choices. It’s not only then for like 1%-5% of your choices that you somehow have true free will. Like no that’s ridiculous. Obviously your brain wiring, past experiences, and biology determine you choices.

For example you buy soda or seltzer. Consider why you would choose one over the other

- look of the can

- which you drink more or less often

- which you like the taste of more

- peer pressure

- the first or last that pops into your head while deliberating

- even if you pick the one you want less, that’ll still be the determining factor of your choice

I think this is important tho because this world is a grotesquely cruel and unfair place. Someone people are born into privilege, stability, and love. And other have none of those things and their brain isn’t even wired correctly and their almost predisposed to instability. Without this toxic myth of free will we can be much more compassionate, less prideful, and focus more on rehab rehabilitation rather than childish vengeance
