What do we do while deciding if free will exists?

RE: What do we do while deciding if free will exists?
Pretty sure, Benny, that no is disputing that you're using "something" at the candle aisle.  Just not convinced that your free will is a tool that determines which candy bar you pick up..if it exists in the first place, or..more broadly, that free will is an explanation for or contributing factor to choice - assuming it does exist.  That's the amusing bit. If we could demonstrate that there were a ghost in the machine..it would get us no closer to demonstrating that the ghost was at the controls. I think theres a simpler explanation for all that ambiguity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
