It was even worse later on. He couldn't even formulate the questions and was constantly interrupting.

Which religion?

"What will keep people--resigned to their fate--from plopping on the couch to wait it out, as opposed to attempting something more ambitious?"

When the mind and body is in movement, when it has goals and ambitions - that all creates a good feeling for a human being. Look at kids in healthy environments. Look at kids in unorthodox schools. Look at successful entrepreneurs who keep working even after they become financially independent.

The opposite "lying in bed" doesn't stimulate the mind, nor body, is boring and depressing.

Only in today's world, where we have the concept of responsibility, we blame people if they try and fail. Or we don't create opportunities for people to learn useful skills, and then we force them (in a moral ways of course) to work in poorly paid, low status and hard labour jobs. Of course, under such conditions, many people believe that happiness is lying in bed.

As far as I know, the opposite is true. The concept of the free was heavility influenced by Christianity and I bet by other religions too.

Our all current social structures, norms and concepts evolved on the basis of the illusion of the free will.

When we look from this perspective, we put so much emphasis on the concept of personal responsibility. We assign points of success or failure to people based on their personal responsibility and our lives depend on it, in many cases it's even a matter of life and death. That's why we are so heavility invested in the concept of personal responsibility and think that it's so important.

But in the culture without the belief in free will, the concept of personal responsibility wouldn't even exist. It would be meaningless. The society without the free will would look at life from completely different perspectives, have different values and would organize itself in different ways.

I think that the illusion of free will is just a one step in our consciouscness. Sooner or later we will move forward and leave it behind.

You are right that my all expressions are predetermined. The concepts of free will and of it being an illusion are also predetermined.

With my completely predetermined wholeness, I see the possibility for a better life in which the concept of the free will doesn't exist.

As a being, I'm designed to evolve. My prior message about the illusion of the free will is an act of evolution. By publicly stating that free will is an illusion, I try to change minds and move to a better future.

I find the topic of the free will to be the most fascinating.

The abscence of the free will ('free will' as it is defined by the pop culture) is a revolutionary idea because the current world structures and narratives are based on the notion that free will exists.

It is a much more revolutionary idea than Copernicus' round Earth discovery, because the illusion of the free will influences our lives more and in multiple ways.

I'm also a strong believer that the society without the idea of the free will would be a much more compassionate, healthier and happy.

Hey, I like the idea, but I have some problems with the site.

First - I don't see a preview/explanation how it works.

To see it, I need to register. But the registration form is heavy and uninviting.

Also, the particles effect on the main page feels like a scammy ICO.
