I Don't Believe In Free Will

Free will is a social construct.

1. We didn’t ask to exist.
2. We didn’t choose our body, mind, the world, what it contains, or the raw materials we were born into and have to work with.
3. We are forced to adapt through reward and punishment. We are maneuvered through a promise of satisfaction and fear.
4. We are ONLY wanted and deemed worthy in this world if we are pleasing, productive, and harmless. If we are NOT there is something “wrong” with us, despite the fact we are all simply objectively different physically and in some desires and the desires of those in power become objective despite everyone’s desires and wishes being subjective to their preference.

I believe in free will. If the multiverse represents all available power then we as its constituents are entitled to claim a portion of it as our own. That this would consist of voluntary actions is explainable in terms of our possessed intelligence being purposed to more than survival.

I am writing about how none of chose to exist, as we are here because of an action our parents took. We didn’t choose our mind, body, brain, the world, all the world contains, the ways this world functions with its rules, regulations, and ways that existed prior to our birth. Something has to exist first before it can ask for anything hence none of us asked to exist, we just do. And ultimately we have no free will because we didn’t choose any of it in the first place, not even the apparent and limited options that are in front of us.
