Do You Believe ...

... In free will? Or are we just a series of causes and effects? Somewhere in between?

The game SOMA comes to mind everytime I ponder the nature of sentience and free will.

I mean yeah. :/ If whales can beach themselves and animals can suffer from physical manifestations of emotional turmoil, just as much as humans, why shouldn't there be free will? Everyone has the choice to live, betray, dream, whatever. If a dream of a place I have never been, of an idea can affect me then of course there is free will.

To deny it in my opinion is to reject any invention that took a lot of effort. That it took the hard more complete path then just the shortest quickest path.
