Having trouble finding it, any notable that you like and know a fair amount about, pick your fav? How does having a sense of self make something free from external stimuli btw? Sounds like an assumption to me, and a fuzzy one at that. Also, if internal stimuli are similarly bound by causality/determinism (such as neurological activity and biochemistry)...then what is the difference as far as free will is concerned between external and internal stimuli, other than the obvious? Why does it deserve "special consideration"? Are you in control of your internal stimuli, or is it in control of you (to put it more precisely, would it be fair to say that the sum of external and internal stimuli produce an effect which you call "I", and if so, precisely how could you be said to have control of this "I")?
Do you have a will, or are you a will?
