    You make decisions based on your ideals, values, goals and previous experiences

    This is the only free will that counts, no matter if it is deterministic or not

      But how can it be free will when it’s preordained what you will be doing even it may not apparent what lead to your decision?

        We don’t have free will but we have the experience of freedom.

        Aspect often left out in this discussion is the rather apparent fact that “self” is an illusion. There’s no “you” in a sense that there’s this some kind of immaterial being that’s living behind your face, looking out in the world and making decisions. There’s just consciousness and its content. The sense of self is an appereance in consciousness. We experience the world from our individual perspective and it creates the illusion of there being a self that’s authoring all our thoughts and actions but there zero evidence of such thing existing. In fact according to split-brain studies it seems like your brain hemispheres don’t even agree with eachother.

    I’m not even an NPC. I’m just the narrator.

    no because that implies there is a player character.
