    Is freewill an illusion?
    The illusion is that there is no free will.  Anything to belittle our own ties to divinity, and our eventual life potential. Things, i.e., inanimate objects, do not control living beings u8nless those living beings allow it to take over. Things such as AI, let alone the inanimate matter out there wandering around, Nothing more destructive to human intelligence than thinking they are not the ultimate creation. Argue for you limitations; they're yours.

    Accordingly, determinists have argued that the standard conception of free will is nothing more than an illusion, as the workings of our mind are simply the product of a causal sequence that kicked off with the Big Bang. It's not hard to grasp why people can find this idea confronting

    Not a surprise to me. I say to the portagonists of such nonsense: "Argue for your limitations; they're yours." [Richard. Bach]
    Given my personal philosophy, I do not see a purpose to existence when I don't even have the ownership of my own mind, even if my body is enslaved. Worse that it's not even a living entity, this "determinism."
