Yeah fal, i'm just gonna agree to disagree here for one main reason, we have entirely different views on what free will actually is. I believe it is the ability to interpret all the factors of our environment, and be able to make choices based on that, you believe that free will doesnt exist because our environment influences our choices.
BUT
factors in our environment, the pros and cons of each side of the argument, all those things that YOU say eliminate free will because they exist, well, if they DIDNT exist, there would be nothing to make choices ABOUT. Free will is all about wieghing all sides of a question and being able to form your own opinion on it. We HAVE that choice, some people are just more prone to using it more independantly than others, it's all a matter of degree.
