1.7 Listen to Language

When listening to language, one can hear how free will unthinkingly pervades daily life. Listen for the words 'decide,' 'choose,' and others that a belief in free will leads people to use. 

In language, we see clearly the default submission to the belief in free will. Further, we can see how quickly and unthinkingly this belief is held – and the problems it can cause for those who hold it. More often than not, the language of free will is used around self-justifying, troubling, or negative situations.
