I agree but I think you’re overthinking it a bit. Usually when people talk about free will there’s an implication of a “spirit”, or something similar, that is the source of your thoughts. That’s the “you”.
I guess it depends on how you define it but I would say physics is the author of your thoughts. Physics is what’s making the decisions. Physics is the reason neurons fire.
Well, I can't debate people who believe in the spiritual realm, they can believe in free will and there is not much debate to be had.
But for anyone else, I still don't see how the concept of free will even makes sense. It is either determined, or random. What other options are there?
