Think of a capital in the world, first one that pops to your head.
Let's say it's Paris. Why did you think of Paris and not Berlin?
Because it didn't occur to you?
Were you free to choose that which did not occur to you to choose?
Thoughts simply arise in the mind... and they come from unconscious sources.
Science has even substantiated evidence that our unconscious mind makes a decision up to 7 seconds before we become aware of it...........................................
Not that the scientific evidence was even necessary. Considering libertarian free will is an incoherent concept anyway.
