Why I don't believe in 'free will'

I don't have time to read all this, but I remember talking with EvF about this a while ago.

I too don't believe in free will. To start with, no free will, like EvF said, should be the default. The idea of free will is something so typical of humans. So many of us feel like we are robots without free will. We feel like we HAVE to have free will or we are not human. I used to feel like this, but after thinking about it, I realised it's purely a human conception. The idea is a waste of time.

I don't believe in it. I don't care who does believe in it. It's a non-issue, because in the end, both the determinists and non-determinists will still out the door, seemingly making 'choices'. The fuss over the whole issue is totally exxagerated. Whether we believe in free will or not, we will for the most part, continue to act and live in the exact same way. Because whether you believe in it or not, life goes on.
