Yes, you're completely right. Thank you for pointing that out. That was poorly phrased on my side. Whether one will figure these things out or not is indeed a consequence of the underlying biological and social conditioning, i.e. inherent to the predetermined circumstances of our lives.
There is no figuring out in a predeterminism world. Whether or not you were programmed to accept a belief is really all that matters. "Figuring out" implies some sense of free will in that you are weighing the evidence and making a choice. If there is no free will, there is no making a choice. Basically, if there is no free will, it is pointless arguing about it since all arguments are pre-determined and all responses to arguments are pre-determined.
