A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will
#45
RE: A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will
You want to know what else can be taught? Emotions, or learning how to control them, of course. It probably does not make a change in the world like how independent thought does not, but I also think that would be another first step among independent thinking and other things to making a change in the world. I mean, with better control over emotions, we could control ourselves better if more people did such a thing, and we could at least become better people if we did that and other things.

I have had to learn to control my emotions well over the course of my life.
