This is one of the better Veritasium videos I've watched.
I especially like the comments on free will, how to live your life, and rationality.
> Whether we do or don't have free will, you have to live as though it exists.
This resonates with me because in my mid-20s, I entered a (quasi)depressive mindset where, after reading several books touching on this topic, it made me feel like whatever I did, it didn't matter.
I then, at some point, just decided to live by the idea that free will exists, as the alternative was not worth living anymore (and also, it almost alienated a few people around me when I tried to elaborate on those metaphysical ideas).
