How do hard determinist deal with questions of meaning and identity?
I've been reading about this for a while and I do find hard determinism the most compelling position but I'm having a hard time accepting the implications.
Do you think of yourself as just a series of processes of cause and effect, a "cog in the universe"? If so, do you feel anxious about it or do you consider it a satisfying way of interpreting the world?
Personally, I really want to adopt the interpretation of reality I consider to be true but I'm not sure if a life without agency is compatible with a meaningful existence
