No such thing as free, someone always has to pay.

Imaging infinities within infinities within infinities and you are one point within all of that.
You are able to effect a certain undetermined number of points within your immediate surroundings.
Yet unable to effect the points beyond your range.
Now imagine the whole thing moving along with time and each point moving.
Is it your free will that the whole thing is moving?
Is it your free will that you only have a certain range?
Is it your free will that certain points near you can effect you?
Just some thoughts. Hopefully it can make it simpler.

It’s an illusion, but a very convincing one. Also useful, as our entire moral and legal system is built on it.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines Free will as
[quote]The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate. The ability to act at one’s own discretion.[/quote]
Must be a million and one examples of how most folk have expectations of behaviour and being set either by culture or family or religion.
Could it be said they have ‘Free will’ ?

@iamnikki you may just be led to believe that it was your choice to commit the crime when you had been programmed to commit it for others to derive benefit from you doing son
Yes. But you have to be willing to accept the consequences of your actions.

@Longleggedlady The United States is the ONLY country in the world that recognizes freedom is granted via a creator and not via the legislative process.

@questionWeaver but do you really truly have free will it is different from freedom. What I am asking is your mind free or is it controlled by others that want you to react or do things in a certain way and you believe that you actually made the choice.
@Longleggedlady you can not truly have a free mind or free will, when you are subjected to the legislative removal of those freedoms based on narrow political deal making.
It is only an illusion that one is free at all.
See Thomas Paine, Rights of Man - 1776 ... his argument was so good, that his 26 pages inspired a revolution that actually returned free will to people.

@Pfuzylogic what I am actually saying is how much are our minds influenced yet we still believe we made the choice

We are always influenced by outside “voices” that stand in opposition to each other. We get in the posture of selecting and rejecting but not originating the thoughts of our mind.
