Are your choices free?
Given the exact same setting for some situation in your life (which I know is impossible, but hypothetically speaking) would you ever come to a choice different than the one you've made?

If you add some technology to you, it will influence your decisions, of course.
If I didn't wear glasses, my eyesight would be poor and I wouldn't choose to ride my bicycle as fast as I do, for example, out of fear of missing some obstacle.
What you want is for those decisions to not be made by the technology... but is there a difference?

Yes, my will is free ... and my choices are free

Free from what?
Free from anyone else?... most likely, yes... within the bounds genetically and socially imposed upon you as a social animal.
Free from biophysics? Somehow, I doubt that...

Yes, we choose... but is our decision truly free in such a way that we could reason differently from what we've done, given the exact same information that we had, the exact same situation, the exact same emotional state, the exact same world?

It is better to think thus... but is us thinking we choose equivalent to us actually choosing?

Could you really?
Given the same situation, and no knowledge of how things turned out, would you really make a different decision?
