If free will was not real

[Excited Penguin]

Again, I think people confuse the experience of making decisions with its objective mechanism. Objectively speaking, we are more like robots than anything else. We are imprisoned. We are destined to do a set amount of things, and there's nothing we can do about it. But to think that this somehow takes something away from life is merely an illusion. SInce you don't know what the future is going to bring, you really do live in the moment, even though you technically have no control over anything. Your experience of reality doesn't have to suffer because of this fact. It is simply a fact of nature and its not like we can even imagine the opposite(well, some think they can, but they can't). But still, there's something to learn from this knowledge. Like, being angry at people or retributive towards them doesn't make any sense anymore. Being angry at someone is the same as being angry at an object, in this new light.
