It's possible for someone to look like you, have grown up like you, have suffered through the same things you have, and *still* have a completely different opinion on all of it. Your perspective is not the inevitable result of what you've been through.

You think our subconscious/unconscious essentially tricks our conscious into the illusion of free will .... ?

Free will, illusory or not, lives in the chaos (in the mathematical sense
) of causality: even if two people share very similar experiences, they are never exactly identical, which can results in very different outcomes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Can you elaborate on “free will is an illusion”?

I don't think that points to free will being an illusion, rather the opposite. If the situations are exactly the same but yet two different outcomes in opinion of it then not sure how that wouldn't be anything but free will, unless I am missing, which if I am please let me know

I didn't mean the situations were *exactly* the same; that would require the exact same arrangement of atoms, genes, entire universe, etc. I just mean that relying on an identity/experience as the core explanation for your perspective is a drastic oversimplification.

FYI Free will is NOT an illusion. https://time-and-silence.com/2019/08/10/sizing-up-free-will-the-scale-of-compatibilism/ …

The biggest issue with article seems to be that it never actually defines what the author thinks free will is. Maybe I missed it - I got about halfway. Did I miss it?
