Good thing I am for free will. Free will includes the the choice to deny the truth. Free will includes the freedom to make mistakes. Have you heard the term Willfull Blindness? If you decide not to look it up:
If there's information that you could have had and should have had but somehow managed not to have, the law deems that you're willfully blind and treats you as though you had known.
In the law, willful blindness is a deliberate attempt to remain ignorant about facts."Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. v. SEB S.A., the Supreme Court affirmed the validity of this doctrine in both civil and criminal settings" The court used The Model Penal's Code as a guide.
Willful blindness, according to the Court, contains two basic requirements: “(1) the
defendant must subjectively believe that there is a high probability that a fact exists and
(2) the defendant must take deliberate actions to avoid learning of that fact. We think these
requirements give willful blindness an appropriately limited scope that surpasses
recklessness and negligence. â€
Like I said though, I am all for free people's will :)
