Distortion of free will

[Rake]

imo, freewill is an illusion. i don't believe i have it

I agree but here's why.

All probabilities are actualized. This means everything that can happen does/has happened. We as individualized conscious beings simply shift from reality to reality where a specific probable event has occurred.

With each choice you shift to the reality where that choice was made. Other individualized portions of yourself shift to fulfill all other probabilities that can occur.

So free will? you have it as much as you with all your experiences up until this point are geared to take certain probabilities over others. Literally I feel I will only ever make the choices that I make there are no real probabilities because once I decide to put the kettle on it's done there where no other probable outcomes. It was always meant to be that way. All probabilities are experienced by individualized conscious entities that would call themselves the real YOU. They are you just an other self, experiencing other probable events.

It's a paradoxical illusion because we are exactly where we are meant to be. I feel that each individualized portion of our own consciousness is exactly where it is meant to be and as such simply can only be where it must and choose outcomes that it must from it's past experiences.

Does that make sense? The illusion of free will in my eyes is that we do indeed choose but the choice cannot be anything but the one we have chosen.
