There Is No Such Thing As Free Will

You will be surprised how many things we do every day as involuntary. From the way we perceive race, height, language, clothing, food, warm vs cold objects. Everything is almost automatic.

Hmmm. I don't agree. Prejudice is learned. Babies are not born prejudiced, whether that's toward race, height, weight, food, etc. So at the point of knowing the difference between this and that or right and wrong, etc., one chooses.

exactly. everything is. hence why your choices are not yours.

I guess it's like that "what came first the chicken or the egg" question. Actually, I think both of us are right in many respects, because if we really look at it, even our very lives our not our own. We're just borrowing them. This is why people should be more appreciative.

I don't think it is an appropriate analogy

Why not?
