How many of you robots are still falling for the free will meme?
And for those of you who have been red pilled on free will, were you happier when you believed it actually existed? Or are you happier now that you feel less responsible for being the robot that you are?
I never cared, makes no difference
The same event can occur with or without free will

>less responsible
It's all deterministic, accountability is just a social construct

>It's all deterministic, accountability is just a social construct
That's basically what I've come to believe.
And it kinda depresses the hell out of me. But at the same time, it also relieves me of the pain of feeling inferior or defective. I don't like what I am but it's somewhat comforting that I had little to no choice.

I envy the ability to just not care. But there's something sort of haunting about the knowledge that I was never in control at any point in my life (or even before I was born) and never will be. Causality is a mind fuck.

Bumping this once and only once for other opinions.
Kinda surprising more people didn't chime in but I guess they're busy discussing what it means to be mysterious and autistic.

Can someone give some more details on OP's position? It would be helpful to know what exactly we are chiming about.
What's the reasoning behind "I was never in control of my life" ?

Muh Newtonian determinism, which is idiotic because-
1. It doesn't apply at the subatomic level because quantum weirdness.
2. It doesn't apply at the macro level because emergent behavior and chaos theory.
You can sense yourself weighing options and making choices, and that is free will. It exists.
I like how robots go so far to try and act like victims. This is pathetic guys. Just work on yourselves and you can stop being losers

No, that's just agency, or at least, an integral component thereof.
Free will isn't just agency.
>>29889281
that doesn't contradict anything that poster said
>>29889397
It kinda does, though. That guy just wants free will to exist because it fits into his view of how he wants the world to be.
It's normie bullshit, basically.
