Wtf is free will even? We're chemical systems, or a metaphysical soul, that makes statistically predictable decisions based on available information as well as uncountable minor factors. If you rewind time and do everything the same, either everyone comes to the same conclusions the same way, or free will requires an aspect of chaos... And at that point you're at predetermination - seems to me the whole idea is outdated philosophy

But here's the thing - statistically, people respond in predictable ways. If every time you do X, the majority will respond Y... That's just math.

Turns out, humans are super complex, but very predictable. And by that I mean policy is extraordinarily effective.

Free will matters on a personal level, it disappears on a societal level
