Why can't I stop eating so much corn?

It's in your blood, Emilio.

I don't understand people with lack of self control. You literally have to just do nothing. That's even easier than not doing the thing you want to stop doing. Makes no sense to me.

Doing nothing is more difficult for people who aren't from third world countries. They were raised in a more active environment, and did not spend hours a day staring at bugs for entertainment.

Free will doesn't exist, everyone does exactly what they do and can do no different. He's no more free to stop eating corn than you are to not do it.

But I can choose to eat or not eat corn. If that is not free will and is predetermined fate then why can it not be OPs predetermined fate to choose to not eat corn?

So you won't have to store as many nuts for winter.

You can't, that's an illusion. In reality only one of the two will happen: You will eat or not eat corn. The other will turn out to have been an imagined, hypothetical possibility but not a reality.

It's like when you flip a coin in the air, while it's airborn you might think 'it can turn out either way', but that's merely a lack of information. If you would have all the data on the trajectory of the coin, the wind, the surface it lands on, et cetera, you would be able to predict exactly how it lands.

The same goes for the human organism. Its acts according to the laws of nature and is entirely predictable, it only seems not to be so by large amounts of complexity and limited access to data. But if you will eat the corn is just as determined by causality as the trajectory of the coin, you just don't know it yet.
