Let me introduce you to a little dopamine imbalance I like to call "focus control disorder", better known as Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder.

Think of it like having a preemptive multitasking scheduler that is unable to keep track of the state of the previous task.

Then I wonder if many of the most vociferous opponents of free will in these comments are suffering from that.

I also wonder if this sort of “free will is not real” sort of mindset comes from a world that’s removed all agency from them?
