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.

to clarify! do i think free will is an illusion? yes! My above tweet was inspired by watching a video where one black person told another black person she couldn't believe he had conservative opinions, because he was black.

Replying to @Aella_Girl
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.
