There's no such thing as free will when every choice you make has a consequence.
What total gibberish. The whole point is consequences.... You choose to do something, you choose to accept the consequences.
And a consequence is akin to a price. Paying a price is the antithesis of freedom. It's not gibberish, it's assigning literal meaning to words used, is all. If you want to talk about it, cool, but be less smug if at all possible. Then I can heart you. If not, I can't heart you and the world totally ceases to revolve and everyone from the Buddhists to the Southern Baptists stop chanting their loverly hymns and the Birds stop pooping purple & white, tbh
