Quote:Free will is the veritable free will to do what one wishes.
Aside from being tautological (your definition is equivalent to 'A square is defined as a thing shaped like a square'), how can you possibly know if your acts are free or constrained? You mentioned having the choice to walk in whatever direction you choose. If you turn left, how 'veritable' is it that this is a choice? For all you know, the expansion event that instantiated the universe caused a chain of events which dictated that, on a particular day and time, you would turn left. The same event chain may have also caused turning left to feel like a free choice, even though it wasn't.
As for 'what one wishes', that's a bit broad, innit? I may wish to be able to digest bronze, or to breathe unassisted in an atmosphere of 90% chlorine with no ill effects.
