**** you.
Don't blame me, free will doesn't exist.
I didn't mean that.
My point is, whether free will exists or not is irrelevant. We have to assume it exists to have any form of meaningful reaction to each other as people. You're also separating our "choice" from our neurons "choice" I would argue they are one and the same. But it is a bit of a moral dilemma. A recent study showed that an mri can accurately "predict" what choice you're going to make (left or right) up to 6 seconds before you're even aware you've made one.
As for pride, it is an emotion. So you have to ask what extent an emotion can be logical.
The thing is, logic can only exist given axioms. Axioms are arbitrary assumptions/declarations. Such as 1+1=2. That is an axiom, logically we can then deduce that 1 is half of two, two twos make four ones and so forth.
So what are emotions axioms in order to determine the logic? it's up to the individual to decide, which throws up a few more problems if they have no free will to do it with in the first place.
