Not freely.
Quote:I can either pay for Kurkure or steal a Kurkure.The ability to do something or not do something is not a free decision.
Quote:Are my choice of actions dependent on previous experiences and dependent on the environment I was exposed to as I grew up? Yes.
Yes, and your choices of actions are very real, but not remotely free.

Free Will.Quote:But am I free to choose an action which completely contradicts my previous experiences and such? Yes.
Your actions come from your previous experiences plus how experiences affect you now. None of this gets you free will. Conta-causal free will is not possible.

Nope.
