Well not really. We’ve lived without free will just fine untill now so becoming aware of it’s absence doesn’t really change much.
What it does change for me however is that the flipside of it is no self, meaning there’s no free will because there’s no one making choices. I don’t believe in the imagined “me” that’s located behind my eyes and looking out into the world and authoring my actions. This pretty much pulls the rug out of blame. Who am I blaming exactly? The universe?
