The Illusion of Free Will

Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears, one does not seek;

Friedrich Nietzsche
one takes, one does not ask who gives;

Friedrich Nietzsche
a thought flashes up like lightning, with necessity, unfalteringly formed –
I have never had any choice.
I am like a puppet sitting here.
It's not just I; all of us are puppets.
Nature is pulling the strings, but we believe we are acting.
