Bad thing happened = The universe made it happen, not your fault

Forgetting to do something = Well there’s nothing I can do, my brain chemicals are dictated by the laws of physics

Like if I don’t keep using Determism as an explantion, my brain just 🤯💀…

    we can see that decisions are made before we’re consciously aware of them.

    Our subconscious is to a large degree trained by our consciousness.
    A simple thing like walking takes huge conscious effort to learn. When it’s learned, the task becomes sub conscious.
    So the decision making is not a one way event happening only in that moment, it’s based on our experiences, and how we have trained our subconscious to process things.
    I haven’t studied that research, but I am VERY skeptical about it showing what is often claimed. The conscious/subconscious interaction is a 2 way connection, not just 1 way.
