There is a void that exists if you're not conditioned. As if you have to be conditioned to a certain extent to even be capable of living. Humans are no less than machines in this aspect, we can think but how freely exactly? If you conform to the rules of the older generations—you were conditioned by them. If you don't—you're conditioned by either your surroundings or by the idea of the reward you'll get by breaking them.
There is no inbetween, and thus I personally don't think free will exists in the sense people put it. It exists in the form of—which way would you choose to be conditioned. That choice is yours.
Ahh exactly! I think so too. People who go on about how free will exists are also ones who constantly condition themselves into thinking that way. I suppose it's kinda inevitable :/
I think without conditioning humans won't even function. Some psychological system has to be in place to create an incentive—since something like money is not a natural, nature had to put some system in place to make us do things.
ts opened my eyes omg i acc do thw whole "if i finish studying this page, i'll watch a 10 min yt video" so much it's crazy...and also unhealthy. alsooo is the book gooddd? i wanna read it!
I think about this alot, and honestly—it sucks.
