I've made Buddhist videos about this over the years: A growing theory suggests free will may be an illusion
Some researchers argue that what people experience as free will may not exist in the way it is commonly understood. Studies suggest the brain can begin making decisions moments before conscious awareness, raising questions about who—or what—is really in control. If every choice is shaped by factors beyond awareness, the sense of independence may be more limited than it seems. The idea is forcing a closer look at one of the most fundamental beliefs about human behavior.
President Donald Trump’s performance among Republicans has led to his approval rating falling to a record low as the Iran war continues to drive price increases, according to a new poll released on Thursday by Fox News.
It’s interesting to see what people are talking about and thinking these days. Definitely big changes from a few decades ago, which is good. I’m not sure where the general public is at though, on this. I see so many ordinary people around still that only relate to very ordinary things. UFOs and the consciousness side of these beings is still a boutique topic, I think.
My idea about why ETs regard us as animals is that it is because our lived experience is exclusively material experience, based on needs of the animal kingdom. Their lived experience is with one foot (heavily) in the spirit realm and the other foot in the material world, and they can stand entirely on the spiritual realm foot if they want to.
ETs think of humans as animals. The way we think of animals, they think of us. If you’re driving down a country highway and see some cows, they’re just cows to you. You’re not interested in them. They’re just animals.
