So what you’re essentially saying is the government needs to change the laws. Until the laws change, no one will do anything different. And since the government or essentially behold into the corporations, just not gonna happen.
Wtf is free will even? We’re chemical systems, or a metaphysical soul, that makes statistically predictable decisions based on available information as well as uncountable minor factors. If you rewind time and do everything the same, either everyone comes to the same conclusions the same way, or free will requires an aspect of chaos… And at that point you’re at predetermination - seems to me the whole idea is outdated philosophy
But here’s the thing - statistically, people respond in predictable ways. If every time you do X, the majority will respond Y… That’s just math.
Turns out, humans are super complex, but very predictable. And by that I mean policy is extraordinarily effective.
Free will matters on a personal level, it disappears on a societal level

What I’m saying is that humans have free will, but have internalized concepts that tell they they’re stuck. That someone else must act.

Each individual has a choice.
People follow the pattern laid by others, until someone does something different.
Those of us who focus on making the hard choices to change outcomes become tired of sheep.
