Stanford scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don’t have free will
You may think you chose to read this, but Stanford scientist Robert Sapolsky would disagree. He says virtually all human behavior is beyond our conscious control.

more likely to hail from an individualistic culture rather than a collective one.

Rofl, so basically mainstream yuppies. Ive showed before, where Appalachians are "collectivist". So are many other cultures.

In general, the Appalachian culture is collectivist, compared to the individualist mainstream U.S. culture.

The brainwashing is strong in this article.

You may have had the uncanny experience of talking about an upcoming camping trip with a friend, only to find yourself served with ads for tents on social media later. Your phone didn’t record your conversation, even if that’s what it feels like. It’s just that the collective record of your likes, clicks, searches and shares paints such a detailed picture of your preferences and decision-making patterns that algorithms can predict — often with unsettling accuracy — what you are going to do.

I cant even finish this word vomit. Its just basically trying to convince the reader free will does not exist, by just listing examples. No real proof. Doesnt believe in god, doesnt believe in the spirit. How does evolution happen if free will did not exist? (if you believe in god, i know your answer)

This article sounds like an excuse for rich people to do whatever they want and still sleep at night comfortably. I hope your material riches are worth an eternity in purgatory, or being reincarnated as a fucking cockroach for the next million cycles. Thats the only thing that really gets me through everything. I know that what we see is not everything there is.

Our bodies are just masks that we are given when we are born into this world.

How did my free will allow me to be poisoned by someone else's negligence, sure Ive thought about this time and time again, was it fate? And I have no answer for that, but what happened afterwards? That was the definition of free will.

If I had no free will, I would have burned their shop down. And in the 200/160 blood pressure, the thought kept creeping back to me. I dont believe in hurting people, for any reason. A cell is a worse punishment than death. But property can be replaced, its just material bullshit.
