Yes, that's free will, because it means I could have kept not responding or respond once again.
Free will is essentially choice, the ability to choose between two options.
Someone who was arguing against your position here probably would just say you didn't have a choice.
The sensation of feeling like you had a choice was just an illusion.
What actually could have happened is that your brain chemicals and electric signals were already in position to go ahead and make you post here, the sensation you felt that was the choice was just the feeling of those chemicals and electrical signals moving into place.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
