There Is No Such Thing As Free Will

Ok then. Lets take the other person out of the equation. I, myself, solely happen upon a blue and green pill and for shits and giggles a purple pill too. I then freely chose which one to take. I chose to not take any of them.

    It is physically impossible to manifest yourself out of nowhere and choose between options. A prerequisite of events always exists — hence why free will is physically impossible.

      I never said i was manifested out of no where. You assumed that.
      There are two aspects of free will you seem to be overlooking:

      1. Introspection - you're telling me self analysis isn't free will? If we had no free will we WOULD NOT BE ABLE to engage in introspection.
      2. Deliberation - the thought process by which we mull over options. Since we are capable of carefully considering a variety of options , then why don't we have free will?
