Yeah. To me it's not even a fun philosophical exercise like thinking about what came before the big bang or if there is anything 'outside' of the universe. I feel like it's a debate from before modern physics. Like, 500 years ago there was a lively debate on the matter of free will in a religious context. And I guess the only way to still believe in free will and its contradiction with the laws of nature is when you believe in God. But for everyone else it's just so damn obvious free will can't exist and it's just human ego wanting to pretend we have control. 'Free will doesn't exist' is as obvious and unimpactful of a fact to me as 2+2=4.

She walks upright with them but only backwards. Very strange cat. Still love her!
Haha, if it's up to my white and red girl she always has the highest priority for petting! She can definitely be a bit possessive of me lol
The black one is perfect but my white and red girl needs to work on her loaf form!
Cool so you have awareness of and/or control over the quantum particles that make up the baryons that make up the matter of your brain? No? Then you don't have free will.
There's also a third group of people who find the absence of free will neither comforting nor terrifying, but just don't give a fuck. The absence of free will is just a simple fact, and it doesn't have any impact on my life whatsoever. I'm still doing what I was always gonna do and my brain will still produce the feeling that I'm in control of myself and my life, just like everyone else. I don't understand what there is to even have feelings about on the matter.
They aren't
It isn't? I'm on it right now, works totally fine
That's a very elegant solution. Would love this
I just spend like 10 minutes copying over all the color codes from my carefully tweaked Infinity theme, lol. Love it
I don't own anything made of silk but I believe you
One of mine is pretty dumb but she does know I'm about to vacuum as soon as I pick up the first of her toys off the ground lol. Maybe that's why she's so dumb, I guess all of her intelligence points went into that and now there's nothing left for other stuff
