You missed the point while drawing your circular argument.

Take what you said and replace fly with human. Wait here I’ll do it for you:

If a human lacks agency, you would be able to predict its movement given a sufficiently accurate set of information.

If it has agency, you could not.

Now tell me how you will acquire a sufficiently accurate set of information about a human and its environment to test your hypothesis.

I don’t understand what you are getting at. You are either saying that you can predict where a fly is going to go when you set it free or you are saying that a fly has internal agency.

That said, we contain the ability to observe and react to our surroundings which causes a large and complex web of interactions that aren’t trivial to map or anticipate.

That unpredictablity is what we ultimately define as freedom.

How does higher uncertainty of my choices achieving what I strive for raise the perception of freedom of said choice?

If you’re in the EU this would probably fall under the 2 year guarantee required by law.

It’s a scenario that Neal Stephenson covers in his book “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell”. Interesting read, although it’s one of my least favorite books of him and I liked the first book in the “Dodge” series a lot better.

Report finds ignorance is bliss.

What are you smoking? GOG Galaxy doesn’t even have a Linux client. In fact it has been one of the most requested features for years and nothing has happened.

Edit: it’s also the reason I stopped buying from them when I got my Steam Deck.

No one wants this shit. I don’t want this shit, so no one could possibly want this shit.

FTFY, maybe time to reflect a little.

This is by design. It’s called dark patterns.

Your „free“ option just requires buying hardware that enables all of it and an intensive setup process and knowledge which might be quite time consuming.

It may be a good solution but it’s far from free for many people.

I thought you meant mouse wheel as in hamster wheel and I was really confused at the end of your post title.

I think you are overestimating the value of “real”, if “real” can even be defined much less proven in many cases including love. Just look at religion and social media for examples of what the human mind is capable of creating an illusion around.

Don’t get me wrong, I do value things that you probably would consider real. But who am I to say they are.
