idk what any of this means but i don't think there is free will (physics etc), HOWEVER we should still live as if we actually had free will. i mean, can i, a living being limited by the laws of the universe, know with near certainty whether i have free will or not? no, that would require me having access to some higher power, or something outside of the universe in which i'm "trapped" in. because of that, i would also not be able to tell the difference between having or not having free will, because that concerns something that is beyond my realm of existence (the universe). it also has always only been one of the two (either ive always had it, or never had it), so i would have no way to make a comparison.

if i can't know, and can't tell the difference, then it doesn't matter to me which one it is. so i'm just gonna pick whichever is more helpful, or at the very least, makes me feel better about myself and others. having free will sounds nice and helps me keep myself and others around me in check, so i'm gonna go with that
