Destiny

Studies suggest that before we decide to do anything, the brain has already electro-chemically 'fired,' about seven seconds before we are conscious of our decision...other studies suggest that the more one tends to believe that one does not possess 'free will', the more likely one will behave in a less than moral manner.

The evidence shows that belief in 'free will' or freedom of choice tends to make us more moral, yet the evidence suggests that this 'free will' does not exist.

I have always been dubious about the concept of free will. If I know someone well enough, I know how they will behave in any given situation. Are they then free to choose, if I have prescience over them?

If human volition is an illusion, then no-one can ever be blamed for their failings; and no-one can ever be praised for their accomplishments.
