DEBATE: BELIEF IN FREEWILL IS ESSENTIAL FOR A FUNCTIONAL SOCIETY

Even if we find it impossible to prove freewill scientifically, like altruism it is a essential concept for us to believe in, as paradoxically, if we did not believe we have a choice, I,m sure it would effect our behaviour in a negative way and deminish hope in people.





BELIEF IN FREEWILL IS ESSENTIAL FOR A FUNCTIONAL SOCIETY


people need to know the truth


if we do act out roles in a destiny, rather than of our own free will, we need to know that, rather than lying to ourselves and being ignorant. living a lie would affect morale just as much, and has other negative consquences such as hurting yourself continuously trying to go against your destiny. this holds for all of consensus reality.
