Re:Free Will: Who’s in Control? by HarHarVeryFunny on Wednesday August 24, 2022 @12:51PM (#32582198)
> Anyway from there the question is raised, "if there is no free will, what do you do with this information?" It should be immediately obvious this is a foolish question: we just said there's no free will so you don't do anything with the information, because you don't do anything at all.

That's not to say that you (meaning your brain/body) might behave differently in the future as a result of deducing or being exposed to this idea, but nothing you can do about that.

Evolution may have selected to strengthen the illusion of free will (although the illusion itself is just due our innate association of actions with actors), since I'd imagine believing you have no control over your actions would be pretty deadly!
