Free Will vs. Determinism

[Tokzic]

lmfao this reminds me of the topic where i came to the conclusion of determinism on my own before even realizing it had been thought up already

Free will is entirely a lie. It's an uncomfortable truth, yes, but it is truth. Everything acts under the laws of reality as we know it, and even as we are sentinent matter, we are still matter nonetheless. When we are presented with a decision, there is no other possible result than the outcome because the outcome is a direct result of your brain's state. Sure, you consciously consider each possible choice, but even our conscious thought is hard-wired. Anything that is situational is simply the result of the hard-wiring progressing through time, and not even worth considering because the way our situation influences our decision is a direct result of our hard-wiring.

It's both comforting and mildly disturbing that there's only one possible fate of the universe.
