I don't think there is much doubt that believing in free will has advantages. Ignorance after all they say is bliss.
I think humanity has evolved to a crossroads, do we face the reality of who we are, or carry on in our comfortable existence.
But when I look at our broken down world, I know that only embracing reality can possibly be a way ahead, when I look at recent news stories about conservative systems and how they treat women for instance, then I know the status quo is not good enough.
Its time to stop being the normal, and be the extraordinary, even if that change means chaos for a while. After all democracy and equality was paid for with chaos and blood.
In the end I don't believe evolution will allow us to stand still, it certainly hasn't in the past.
