Free will does not exist

Free will does not exist.

Your thoughts, decisions and actions are the result of chemical reactions and electrical impulses going on in your brain.
These microscopic interactions will occur whether you 'want' them to or not.
Most of your brains activity is subconscious, you are not aware of what's really going on.
Only a small fraction of the thought is lifted into consciousness, but you can't choose how that happens.
So essentially, everything is predetermined by the brain through physiological processes outside your control.
Empty stomach and low blood sugar causes a reaction that leads to hunger, a desire to eat.
If you really can control yourself, then try to stop blinking, stop breathing, stop thinking, try to tell your heart to stop beating. You can't. It just keeps happening.

Millions of years of evolution embedded in your DNA acts as programming that must be fulfilled. Ever wonder why you can't stick to a healthy regimen or break an addiction? The impulses overpower your logic. You are at the mercy of the brain's activity, and all the flaws that come with it. If you can consistently 'succeed', then it's also because of your brain and the willpower that's built into it.

In the best case scenario, a tiny minority of people can become "enlightened". A monk who can douse himself in gasoline, set himself on fire, and sit in one spot without panicking or resisting. That is the closest you can get to freedom, to be separated from fear and pain, but it is a rare exception and not the rule.

What else is new?

Free will doesn't mean freedom from determinism, it means no-one is putting a gun to your head forcing your to make decisions. The chemical reactions in your brain are free to go about their business.

What people are saying when they say "there is no free will because muh chemiculs" is "there should be no consequences for my actions".

i dont think most people will realize youre telling them to kill themselves
too subtle or clever maybe

Here's a mind blower for ya:

OP doesn't exist

Think about it…had anyone seen OP in their daily life? How do we know if he exists or not?

The answer is obvious, its the CIANiggers. Maybe if you weren't so autistic and paid attention, user, you would know that.

The fact that our urge to procreate has to be strong in order for our species to not have gone extinct yet theres tons of people who willingly go their entire lives without even attempting to mate just goes to show we do have free will and can overcome the "programming that must be fulfilled".

I think you have free will mixed up with total control over your body. free will entails the freedom to make any conscious decision such as stopping your eyes from blinking for a short time (it won't last long because your eyes need the moisture from within your body which they get from your eyelids), stopping your breathing (which also cannot occur for more than what your brain can handle without oxygen, or stopping you from thinking (will cause certain neurons to fail if turned off for a while, as if you died and were resurrected a month or so later). total control of your body would mean that we wouldn't have limiters that would prohibit us from making such boneheaded decisions that would lead to our deaths. free will is the ability to choose and isn't anything like you described

OPs hypothesis relies heavily on reflex actions that would be impossible to control voluntarily because our consciousness would be completely overwhelmed with the responsibility of maintaining and regulating our heart or are digestive system for example. OP also cannot explain why people do irrational actions that do not correlate with the desision making process.

No. Those chemicals reactions and electrical impulses are the result of our thoughts and actions.

So what? We don't need to manually breath all the time. We automate a lot of our processes to free up the will and attention to other things.

Yes you can though.

Mental processes that are subject to your control and attention .

Not always.

I can do all those things. I've stopped my heart by willing it. The heart is generally running automated but you can get conscious control over it. Stopping thinking isn't that hard either, just let the thoughts run out, observing them.

I have never been able to get addicted to anything and tend to be a chaotic individual who has a hard time establishing habits. The only thing I do that isn't healthy is isolate myself because there aren't any redpilled people around me just moronic normies.

Free will occurs in degrees and can be developed. You always have some agency and some ability to act and if you keep making good decisions you'll be able to expand that freewill.

Nothing is free.
