My conscious decisions are under my control, my neural nets control. That part is the part that I consider free will.
BTW, I didn't define I as brain, I said "part of". My brain is only part of "I". Also, if by "knee jerk" you mean deep tendon reflex, that does not involve your brain at all but peripheral nerve function.
Sounds like we will have to agree to disagree. A choice.
But even then it is ultimately not your choice to choose to override some of those activities. Why did you/what caused you to want to override those activities? Your will, but it wasn't your decision to want/will that.
You are so incorrect. A choice?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
