Free will is often thought to be some kind of magic sauce which is supposed to render our minds autonomous and independent of worldly influences.

Mmmmm...magic sauce...just like mama used to make. [emoji478]

- Mom?
-Yes?
-Do I have free will?
-No. And now eat up!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
