Free will is a myth. Kids who got shot in schools or have terrible parents have no free will.
I will never understand this mindset. If you say we have no free will then you are saying we all live our lives as slaves to preordained events. This is ludicrous and exhibits a desire to be free of responsibility for your own actions. Essentially it's the philosophical equivalent of being an angsty teen who hates everything because nothing matters.
I enjoyed Christopher Hitchens comment on free will.
