If free will does not exist, and there is evidence that it does not, do you all think that people are living lives under the belief that they do not understand that they are not really exercising free will? In other words, do you think people are living a lie in terms of thinking free will exists?
Of course, people are wrong all the time about lots of things -- and live life, and make decisions on the basis of wrong information all the time.
I'd be interested in seeing this evidence in detail.
Um, what evidence?
I was only asking a question.

If you say so.
