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.

You consider yourself controlled because you lack the courage to swim against the tide. Yes, there’s a price.

You consider your existence within the narrow confines of your perception because you lack vision.

For all you know there are infinite universes with infinite options, yet you prefer to waste your talent, if you have talent, whining about the paths you can see here instead of blazing new trails.

It wasn’t long ago that exploring the skies was not an option, never mind space and the ocean depths.

People with vision didn’t whimper about being landlocked and earthbound. They did something about it.

You did not choose to exist. True. You CAN choose not to exist. I don’t advocate that, I think it’s a dreadful waste of possibility. It’s a version of the user rules on websites. “By continuing to exist, you accept the rules set forth below.”

Or change them. One.

My side of this conversation is over. I don’t court negativity.
