Isn't this like proven fact? Why are you downvoted lol.

We have 2 parts of our brain, the conscious and unconscious, the unconscious controls most things instantaneously meanwhile the conscious takes time to decide.

The people screaming about "no agency" don't realize that the unconscious is just a reflection of what you've trained yourself to do.

You catch yourself eating Oreos for example, you've trained your unconscious self to desire Oreos, you CAN train it to stop as well. That's where the whole concept of self control comes in, your unconscious mind wants to do something but you overpower it with your conscious efforts.
