What seems like a more likely explanation for why we make
decisions: Each and everyone one of us independently thinking about what to do,
or a master puppeteer holding over 7 billion puppets? From my viewpoint, it seems much simpler and
more logical that decision making is decentralized (on the whole) left up to
each person. I just find it hard to
believe that someone is controlling the thoughts and actions of every single
person. But doesn’t also apply to
animals as well? It seems to me that
whoever or whatever is pulling the strings, that it has a lot on its hands to
take care of.
Determinism is not the idea that there is a puppeteer. The universe is not governed by any figure, it's just natural process.
