      The main reason it's obvious that sexuality isn't a choice is, of course, that there is no such thing as a choicehttps://twitter.com/9BillionTigers/status/1322086707232010240 …

      Not only is sexual orientation both natural and innate, but so is everything else we don't want to think about

      I can never decide whether I believe free will is an illusion or that I believe it's extremely real and also that every step of creating a better society depends on deceiving people that it's not

      I'm not sure how to parse the last clause there, people usually say that it's the illusion of free will we have to maintain so that people don't all quit their job and smoke weed

      It seems like this statement is paradoxical but it isn't Like, the question of *whether* people all come to believe free will is an illusion and therefore all turn on, tune in, drop out could be completely deterministic, it has no bearing on whether that's what happens

      Replying to @arthur_affect

      I mean like—even if I believe free will exists, institutions and social services and the justice system et al can only do their job if people take it for granted that it doesn't

      Replying to @Nymphomachy

      It's an open question what those things are for But, like, you can leave abstract justice out of it and say that the justice system's job is supposed to be behaviorally conditioning people not to do bad things, by providing a deterrent when they do

          And that for this deterrent to function, everyone has to believe it functions "accurately"/"fairly", i.e. it only kicks in to deter people who can be deterred (Whether my decision to commit a crime is "free" is a practical question of whether it's deterrable by fear of prison)
