Free will?
So my philosophy class just started talking about free will. Pretty much, whether or not our actions are chosen by us or if every action has been set up by other events.
Examples(made by me, could be pretty shitty ones): you chose what clothes you're wearing, but was the decision changed by what clothes were clean/missing?
You pick up a pen at random to prove you have free will and chose to pick it up. That was decided for you by me arguing with you over free will and whoever left that pen right there.
I'm curious about what the flood thinks about free will.
I've always thought people had free will. However with actually thinking about it, I'm not sure. I'll develop a better opinion as I think about it more.

[quote]That was decided for you by me arguing with you over free will and whoever left that pen right there.[/quote] I still decided to do it. Just because of the cause-effect relationship between the argument and the action doesn't mean that you somehow metaphysically forced me to pick it up. I could jam the pen into my eye socket for no reason. There's no apparent cause, and I wasn't somehow forced to do it.
