I rarely comment on the illusion of free will because doing so often results in individuals spouting the same anti-intellectual drivel and canned responses that fail to highlight the main point. They would likely need to pause and read my comment multiple times to realize they are behaving like uneducated individuals over a belief unsupported by evidence. Additionally, they seldom exhibit such behavior when reflecting on how they decide upon something or consider factors influencing their decisions on a particular subject. Nevertheless, I still believe it is worthwhile to engage in discussions claiming free will when it is brought up in debates concerning societal issues. This pattern has persisted throughout history, where humans have previously held misconceptions about various topics.
