Goodest logic

There is like, a really weird logical argument about choice and free will (tangentially related to manifestation).

So let's say A and B are discussing about metaphysics.

A: It's all just a matter of choosing, B. You can be anything you want, do anything you want! The world is simply a collection of possibilities, waiting to be plucked.

B: So why do I feel that I have so few options?

A: If you choose one thing, you lose the option to chose an inconsistent option.

B: But I didn't choose to be poor, lonely and miserable! Why can't I just "decide" to be a millionaire now?

A: In theory you can.

B: (thinks really hard)

B: .... no it doesn't work!!! I'm still poor, lonely and miserable!

A: The issue is that you have beliefs about what is possible and impossible about this world. You don't believe that a poor person can just magically think themselves into being rich and suddenly get a million dollars.

B: That's not true! Why are you so sure I don't believe in such magical thinking?

A: If you believed in this magical thinking, you'd already be a millionaire now.

B: Are you gaslighting me saying that I "lack faith"? Don't give me that bullshit!

A: OK, so you honestly believe you can become a millionaire by just thinking?

B: Let's assume that, yes. Then why doesn't it work?

A: Because you actually don't want to be a millionaire.

B: You're gaslighting me again!!

A: I'm just saying either you believe you have can change your circumstances but you don't decide to change, or you believe you don't have that ability. Either way, you made a choice in your belief system that is inconsistent with being a millionaire.

B: #%!%!@%!^!
