How much free will can we really have? For example, I can't will myself to lift 1000 pounds. It seems that no matter how much you want free will to be true, there's still physical constrictions that limit it.

The Bible is not fantasy. It is an interesting read though, due to divine influence.

I don't mind diverting the thread that way desu.
This image makes me deeply uncomfortable moreso than any other that I've come across, makes me start questioning the methods I used to numb myself from reality outside of the typical narcotics/alcohol etc. this one image probably has had more positive impact on my life than anything else, I've almost totally cut sugar out of my diet and stopped playing any form of video game. They just strike me as constructs that subvert man's natural desire to achieve goals, they make you passive and docile, they emulate the feeling that a real accomplishment would have without you having to have any lasting or meaningful impact on the world.
There is a comic that also encapsulates this idea in which a time traveler arrives in the future, is greeted by a robot who invites her to sit in a room in which she will be injected with drugs to simulate adventure, she protests with something akin to "but I like adventure", she is then pressured into "trying it", and the last panel is her surrounded by other people sunk into a chair totally out of her skull. I can't find the image but I'll post it when I find it.

he's a fucking bugman, and you seem to either be trolling or an example of the detestable left

What books do I read that can teach me how to live the good life?
