  • The same way most soldiers have better training and trigger discipline than cops. They know far better when their life is actually in danger, and are actually trained to stay cool under pressure. Cops are trained to be big babies that must get their way or else.

    Same for politicians and chickenhawks. They’re fake tough guys, not actually tough guys.





  • The question of free will doesn’t even need to exist. What’s the point? We already know different people act differently. Whether they’re just post-hoc justifying things, or deciding things differently, doesn’t really matter when the behavior will be different either way.

    Especially at a further removed point like what corporations want. They want people to hand them money, regardless of the reason. They’re already dealing with more people than individuality will ever matter, so the question is completely moot.

    Yes, they want people to be easily controlled and mentally corralled into specific behaviors … so they can exploit people more efficiently. That’s it. They’ll try to do it regardless of free will. In any case, humans are quite a complex system, so it takes a great deal of time and subliminal training to get people to behave the same.

    That’s basically culture. Hence why the US has such a fucked, dumb culture; capitalists have been driving it for generations. That’d happen with or without free will when they’re allowed to run rampant as they have.
