Genuine question does anyone else just not belive in free will and not care. I don’t think free will is anything more than an illusion but it’s one that works and it just doesn’t bother me.
Genuine question does anyone else just not belive in free will and not care.
The issue is that a lot of people agree with you when it’s abstract. But then bring in a person that’s easy to judge and hate, and suddenly there seems to be a belief that they could do otherwise, but because they are evil, they CHOOSE not to. Which somehow also becomes an argument for free will, even though it’s actually an argument against it…
If you don’t fall into this trap, good for you. But a lot of people do.

I think it doesn’t matter either way and it’s not worth thinking about more than that.
