I was only commenting on the concept of free will. Doesn’t matter where you apply it, we’re all just following our programming.

Obviously, the program is incredibly complex, otherwise the illusion of free will wouldn’t be so easy to believe.

However, there are many examples where the programming becomes apparent.

The best example of this is a radio lab episode about a woman with transient global amnesia. Her memory reset every 90 seconds, and she kept repeating the same conversation over and over for hours. Like a program stuck in a loop.

She couldn’t choose to say something else. Given the same input, she would repeat the same response every time. She didn’t have the ability to realize she had already said it, so she just kept looping.
