 Free will?  I once had this conversation with a University professor who said there is no such thing as free will and that everything in life was predetermined.  I told him fine, then I was predetermined to believe that I have free will.  I don't think he could even understand that concept. 🤡🌎 
 That's a good answer. I'll use it in the future 😁🫡 
 Yea I’ve learned to be skeptical of anyone saying anything absolutely. Professors funny enough are some of the most dogmatic, irrational people I’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to. The academic system doesn’t reward outside the box thinking.
