There is no free will. It's just an illusion. Every choice
has already been made. Everything we think,
everything we feel, everything we do is baked in. We behave in the exact way
we're meant to. I know this sounds, um,
dispiriting. But the irony is that we are
programmed to hate the idea that we're programmed, to preserve the illusion
that we master our destiny, that we earn our fortune, that we can deserve happiness. We master nothing. Fortune is random. All souls are happy,
good people are miserable. There's no rhyme.
There's no reason. There's no God's plan. And there's no fucking escape other than... you know. Escape
has already been made. Everything we think,
everything we feel, everything we do is baked in. We behave in the exact way
we're meant to. I know this sounds, um,
dispiriting. But the irony is that we are
programmed to hate the idea that we're programmed, to preserve the illusion
that we master our destiny, that we earn our fortune, that we can deserve happiness. We master nothing. Fortune is random. All souls are happy,
good people are miserable. There's no rhyme.
There's no reason. There's no God's plan. And there's no fucking escape other than... you know. Escape
