we have to pretend

"Individuals need not believe... but they must behave as though they did... they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it."

— Vaclav Havel, on life in communist Czechoslovakia

To be fair, that’s pretty true of life in general. Useful fictions are important. Regardless if free will exists we have to pretend that it does. - @jfarmer017
