i believe/think we do have free will because consciousness has not and, likely, will not be explained by science. Why are we conscious? What *is* consciousness? If we find and answer to those questions, then yea maybe we are living out our little predetermined mission π€·ββοΈ

Is the entire universe playing out a deterministic event where everything that happens is the result of everything that came before it like a cosmic series of dominoes? Maybe! The likelihood that we have free will is contested by physicists, neuroscientists, and philosophers alike!
All I know is that it seems best to act as if we have free will. To assume a sense of agency and responsibility is more empowering than assuming we have no control.
Then again, that may just be what Iβm predetermined to say and believe!

Maybe we do have free will and I just think this way because Iβve never felt I had control over my life! I donβt know how we possibly could have ended up here, but I strongly feel that my consciousness is only a manifestation of my physical body, which takes its place in an inevitable evolutionary march of organic machinery. Hopefully this is only a disconnection from my environment and spirituality. Maybe God will strike me down for such a sentiment. Maybe one day the matter that makes me up will arrange again, and I will exist after death. I do have principles and think itβs important to act on them but the action is inevitable as well. Someone please prove me wrong
