MODERATORS
There are physicist, respected ones, that believe the universe is deterministic. That we don’t have free will.
And psychologists that believe that feeling of consciousness is a result of the brain developing a self-supervising function for higher order thinking.
Essentially free will is just an illusion.
What difference does it make?
Well, if true, it doesn’t make any difference. Because it always was and always will be. Nothing makes any difference.
But in another way, it’s kinda neat. I guess it’s simultaneously a not fun fact, and a fun fact.
