Different ability to exert willpower is part of natural human variation. Don't assume your personal experience makes for an accurate baseline.

However, I would not count being able to will yourself into believing things as a good thing!

Take responsibility for what?

For what I eat? Sure.

For failing to think that the myths of a certain group of Levantine tribes are not literal truth? That's not the sort of thing one needs to or even can "take responsibility" for.
