I would like to know how did they came to the conclusion that the world problems is caused by nature and not other selfish people. Politicians who didn't allow me to my country's university because of my religious beliefs made this choice not because "the nature" forced them, or they somehow lacked free will. They may blame our flawed natures like greed but I would argue that we can choose not to listen to our emotions and desires. I can shallow my anger, and silence my pride which makes me an entity separate from it's emotions. People can also change their mind if they choose, both in a positive and negative way.

Good points, actually. I can't really comment on the nature of free will, as I don't know how common nihilism stands on that matter (I would say that a determined universe seems more "cruel", tough). Whether or not free will exists you could still argue that the actions of people are still the result of the universe
