Do you think you have free will? You do not.
Oh now don't start getting all indignant on me. Just settle down and let me ask you a question. If you had been alive back before the civil war, born a son or daughter to a wealthy slave owner in the South, would you have gone along with the program, or would you have said: "No! Slavery is wrong. You can stick your legacy where the sun don't shine Dad. I'm moving to the North!"
Please have the intellectual honesty to say you likely would have become a slave owner too.
And don't be all sad now. Just because you realize you have no free will doesn't mean you can't become more enlightened. In fact, you just did!
I love this, Dan. Brilliant.
