In short, you could not have done otherwise – so therefore, everything is predetermined.  As Sam Harris has said “What evidence could possibly be put forward to show that one could have acted differently in the past?”

Free Will is false.  Free will doesn’t exist.  Free will is an illusion.  However you word it — there is no such thing as free will.  We must all come together now as a species and put all our different backgrounds aside.  We must all unite in the most important discovery in the history of time and start discussing openly and honestly what it means that human beings do not have free will.  This fascinating truth will change EVERYTHING as it makes it more obvious why a Universal Basic Income is simply the moral thing to do.  Politicians like Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang understand that gargantuan income inequality is immoral and wrong but they never say why that is so.  The reason why is because free will is an illusion and life is only about fate and luck.  Everything must have a cause or reason, everything is conditioning, you could not have done otherwise, you have no choice but to choose what you feel is best for you to choose at the time with the data you have at the time, humans have a subconscious/unconscious, and you did not choose your parents or soul or how you were raised (nature and nurture).  The world is either deterministic or indeterministic and neither grants free will.  There is no third option.  Why is this obvious truth being ignored or going unaddressed in the media?  Let’s change that!
