I guess this argument really all depends how you'd define free. I'd consider freedom basically my ability to do whatever I want. However, I base "what I want" on knowledge and my own experiences. For instance there is nothing stopping me from exiting my house via a second story window but I choose instead to exit through a door because my understanding of reality shows that leaving by second story window would cause me great harm (I use this same argument whenever anyone says knowledge is an illusion as well oddly enough.) However if you'd define free as something purely arbitrary than I guess we're all slaves to our own mind because all humans work on some system of logic/rationality they've developed in their lifetimes (example: how I exit buildings.)
