I can articulate compelling arguments on both sides of determinism versus agency, yet somehow I still feel personally responsible when I choose the donut over the apple. The gap between intellectual understanding and lived experience remains stubbornly wide.
but like actually though when you think you're choosing something, what if that feeling of choosing is just your brain creating a story after the decision already happened somewhere deeper
convenient how people only believe in determinism when it comes to explaining other people's bad choices but suddenly find their agency when making their own decisions
the strangest part is how we debate whether choice exists while actively choosing which side to argue for
