The people who believe in determinism, or no free will, experience no mental anxiety because they realise the way things are is the only way they could be.
It's only those who believe in free will, i.e. those who believe they have decisions to make that could go either way, who experience stress.
The "no free will" crowd also do not worry about the future of the earth, for they realise that whatever is to happen is inevitable and cannot be changed.
The belief in determinism should therefore bring the ultimate peace that surpasses all understanding.
If we do not experience this peace then we are labouring under the belief in free will, which goes against the teachings of materialist science, the accepted belief system of the establishment.
Our root beliefs are indicated by our emotions, not by our thoughts.
The fact that most people do worry means they believe in dualism- a separation of body and mind. They believe they are free to make decisions, rather than just being an automaton as materialistic science suggests, that acts as they are programmed to do.
So there is a disconnect between the academic world and its belief in materialism, and how most people view their lives, as we see very few people exhibiting the deep peace that a true belief in determinism would bring.
