We don’t freely will our hearts to beat, we do t freely will to breath, we don’t freely will our base apprehensions, we don’t freely will our tastes, or our beliefs. We don’t even freely will to think.
I think it’s unclear where or what happens when the product of all of this involuntary operation becomes free, or in what sense it’s supposed to be free when we discuss the idea of free will.
It’s equally unclear why we should consider ourselves some sort of black box immune to investigation or observation.
How would you determine if these investigations and observations are free or deterministic?
