  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • i agree with you.

    My best friend is ex-police. My brother is police.

    They're not saints but they're good people, certainly not exploring or abusing anyone.

    Then again, we're not in the USA so I can't comment on what it's like there.

  • I guess so. If you wanted to fake a reaction you could choose to, so the opposite must be true too, right? Choice happens at different levels, and most the choices we make happen at a level outside the conscious mind so quickly we wouldn't register them as choices

  • Well, isn't that the question of the ages.

    Each generation wants to know why the next is getting it so wrong!

    Its mostly good news on that front, from a psychology point of view. Perhaps the best lens is to use developmental models to answer your question, though I will say the assumptions in your question are only partially true. Your own experience might be giving you the impression it's "most"

    If we consider developmental needs, child take a long journey from being totally dependant at birth to being totally independent, usually by their early twenties on average.

    Individual stories vary but one part of that process of individualization is pushing back and creating friction between the existing power structures and themselves.

    It's why teenagers are so famously, and seemingly, unnecessarily hostile especially to parents and authority.

    Its a short answer to a complex question, does that give you something to go on?

    Its a part of growing up, happens in every generation, even if it looks a bit different each time

  • Yeah, totally.

    I laugh at my hayfever, through the sneezing and the coughing. My husband gets angry.

    So we have very different levels of "suffering" to the same experience.

    Good example, thanks.

  • I'd say they are choices, just not concious choices.

    You can demonstrate this by noticing the way different people have different reactions to the same experiences or events.

    Easiest to see in people because of the greater awareness and agency but it applies to cows too because they're smart enough to have individual personalities

  • Freedom no, that's not a binary state.

    Free will? Yes. They have the capacity to react to their environment. The veal cow's sadness and suffering are evidence of the free will to react.

  • I dunno. I switched careers 10 years ago, and I have some good years and some bad years for my income but I still love it and wouldn't want to do anything else.

    A proper "I'd still do this if I was rich" job. Still, I really do need and appreciate time off from it to recharge.

    I was warned it's easier to burn out doing something you love because you won't want to stop even when you can, and it's true.
