We possess a coerced will. I possess a coerced will. I am not my own man. There are things that I wish were otherwise, and I acknowledge that no amount of any of us wishing makes it so, or even possible, or possibly so.
Yeah, there seems to be many factors in our, well, environment that would prevent free will now, would there not be? I mean, I never understood how we can exactly be free when different things, internally and externally, make it difficult, or even impossible for free will to exist.
