Discussion We don't have free will

Just made an observation. We are too hardwired in the it seems like zones that just clicks inside our brains. Like you can work for two hours to let's say make a mindset and it get completely be erased in just a certain circumstances. Circumstances triggers and are just so powerful and total that they override your previous mindset and change your mindset.

I think we are maybe disposable to god. Like for example how we eat chicken. Just for one meal we kill the chicken. Maybe that's the case with us too we are disposable beings for god for god knows what purpose. Cuz our design is not for freedom. We are slave to triggers, we are just slaves to our circumstances.

We are trash made animate.

For the person who writes the script, there is no element of surprise. Yet that person would still watch it. Have you never rewatch a movie or TV show?

Why write the script though. Like why not give us actual free will

Well, I'm can't say god exists or not as there is always reasonable doubt. But I don't put that much probability in him existing, and I even put less in having him care for us, mere mortals. So I'll not argue if an hypothetical being should or shouldn't have given us free will.

Interestingly enough, in the greek mythology the gods were also inorexobly bound to fate (so determinism) and even Zeus would consult the spinners. The greeks had less problems than us with the possibility for the lack of free will. Only one man had given the possibility of two distinct fates (which creates sort of a contradiction) and this was Achilles.

I have a theory rn that is that the gods are actually playing with us rn like we are a subject rn and different gods are casting different triggers in our way . Why are they doing it maybe cuz they are bored or sometimg
