Yes. Of course I can. You can't seem to figure it out because you are thinking one dimensionally
Yes, we are consciousness, however, does such prove that we have free will? No, hardly; natural selection is "nature's algorithm," and yet, it is not something that nature figured out. Natural selection is algorithmic, and yet, it is still a mindless process. Determinism is a bottom-up philosophy more than a top-down one; from almost limitless studies on brain injured patients, to those who are on medications and/or drugs, to the conservation laws of nature, free will does not exist because free will can not exist. To say that it does means that all of modern physics is wrong.
