Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?

  Very fair point and I am fine with the knowledge that I don’t have much free will, but I do still believe we can affect change on our world, it’s just not the kind of decision making we think we understand. It’s just not a black-and-white thing, nothing in the universe really is, everything has a spectrum and so does free-will.

  If everyone has even a tiny speck of actual cognitive ability to make a choice that impacts us all, even if it’s the teeniest, tiniest impact, if you can get billions of people to make this small change, you could potentially have massive effects on the whole world. You may not have nearly as much conscious choice as you think about things like, what you eat for dinner and what your job is, but we still DO have a world with causality and it appears we can do things that have cause and effect.
