>But what benefit would it bring to believe that I have absolutely no control over my life? You're ignorant of understanding reality and similar to the majority of people because of religion. The society we live in has been shaped around assuming we have control by the roots of religion being ingrained for centuries. The great travesty I observe is ignorance born from assuming free will and it needs to be erased for humanity to not be evil. Currently many humans are in prison for being born into the life with a horrible outcome and without any control of not being influenced to be penalized unjustly by fate. The injustice is equivalent to the holocaust. Society is imperfect with how people develop by genetics & the environment being different. The scapegoat has been blaming victims and assuming they have free will. >And if I believe that I have control (which itself isn't something I can control in your model) when in fact I don't, then why would that change anything about my life? No matter at the end of the day, fate will decide how you end up being is true. Fate for me has made me converse how reality is with as many people and because I think it's the right thing to do; while understanding the preceding. I would be immoral if I didn't discuss it once in awhile and while knowing how against people are when it comes to understanding free will is an illusion because they've been conditioned their whole life to think the contrary. >What positive effect would this revelation of lack of control have? Understanding the collective unconscious is really the key. The evolution of humans (behaviour & interaction) is built by the foundation of what people share in their mind. I'm a firm believer that faith (the belief in something with no evidence) is evil because of what I've experienced in life by people that were very controlling; against lgbtq people. Thus, I find free will evil and the reason for what has occurred upon society because of it. Understanding why knowing free will is an illusion takes awhile to truly understand the benefit. Furthermore, I likely would have murdered the people who abused me if I didn't come to realize they had no control to how they became to be as persons. I'm grateful that fate was at least kind enough to me to not become a murderer. I'm disfigured forever as a visible transgender woman because of these people that had no control in reality. Luckily fate is going to allow me an exit soon.
