The reality is the other way around, but ok.

You have free will. You also have a heavily programmed unconscious mind which attempts to do things whether you really want to or not.
Catch yourself eating a bag of Oreos without realizing? Taking a nap when you know you should be doing something else? You've trained your unconscious mind to desire those things and it WILL take work to rewire it and you will make "mistakes" along your journey as you try and change it.
Think of it like, in the case of this meme, your conscious mind trying to calm the mean unconscious in control, she might be mad and not listen now, over time she will come around and you can tell her to turn right instead of left, sometimes she might not listen, try again.

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.

I kind of understand what this is pointing out, but it’s not doing a great job of it.

I've seen authors claiming this is how the mind works. The unconscious mind governs the conscious mind. Before you decide to do something (ex: lift an arm), the unconscious mind has already decided for you. Never quite understood how this works fully though.

This is the opposite of motivational.
The fuck are you thinking, OP?

If I have no control over my actions then fuck it I'm staying in bed all day.

Congratulations, OP. This post is garbage enough that I'm finally bothering with unsubbing. Thanks for motivating me I guess.

Seems like it would motivate violence against women

A lot of times "motivational" advice is toxic positivity & is anything but motivational or helpful. It's generally an oversimplification of complex and unrealistic advice that is used as a crutch vs seeking qualified mental and/or medical health advice from a professional.

Self-hypnosis is one way that the guy in front can have some control over where the car travels from point A to point B.

Actually working on a guide how to change. At the core is this insight. An older article on this here: https://medium.com/@victorrotariu/one-strategy-to-effortlessly-change-any-behaviour-or-habit-865fb47abad6
Also this is what explains how good habit strategies work.

Don't bother let your unconscious decide. It has the wheels.
