How come nobody brings up the fact that everything you do is a reaction to something as a way to debunk free will? Every decision comes from a complicated chain reaction already set in motion. So how could it really be free will if it's been influenced?

Though, perhaps the idea of free will is just way too abstract for us to truly comprehend. Kind of like infinity. We have a basic grasp of what infinity and free will are, but we don't really have the ability to truly understand either.

Edit: What would be an example of something that doesn't have free will for us to compare to?

Edit again: But if free will doesn't exist then how could you believe in morality? If free will isn't real then nothing is good, bad, wrong or right. They just are. You don't do bad, you don't do good, you just do accordingly to the cosmic algorithm.

yeah that's called determinism

My answer would be that, since we don't have any choice but to live as if we have free will, it doesn't matter if we really do or not.

Like OH said, living as if you don't believe in freewill is an existential dead end so acting like you do is simply the only thing you can do.

Because the cosmic algorithm has programmed us to believe in freewill, so all though it doesn't exist, we must follow the illusion unquestionably to fulfill our inherently meaningless destiny.

All explained in Gucci Gang if you just gave it a listen.

Bro, if you want some philosophy, have you tried Kant, Socrates, Aristotle, Decsartes, Nietzsche, Plato, Sartre Camus, Russell, Confucius, Voltaire, Lao Tzu?

Don't base your morals off of Gucci Gang.

I got my friend to look through the Lil Pump Fan Club looking for intellectual stimulation once. Greatest troll ever.

& LOL at [merit] I'm not going to read some books by a bunch of people that fall short in comparison to Lil Pump who puts forth is brilliant ideas and theories in easily digested, compacted and poorly made 2 minute songs.
