A decision is just a word for a different action. It's just a way of communicating, it has no special meaning to it. You can't differ a decision from a desire physically. When one says a decision one refers to an act that has been thoroughly thought through. A desire for e.g chocolate hasn't been thoroughly thought through however both of them are simply just your neural net interacting with each other provoking feelings/actions etc. And your neural net is physical, it is governed by classical physics and is therefore determined. There's no freedom in it if it's already determined. Simply put, you're just aware of your decisions and they're a bit more complex compared to let's say your desires, but they're fundamentally the same physically speaking.
Thoroughly thought through? I thought you said we weren't aware of our decisions until after they are triggered?
Think more about what you're saying because you may be contradicting yourself a little here. And to be clear, neuroscientific studies don't exactly support all of what you're saying here, so on what other basis do you make these claims?
