free will is required for interpretation of what we perceive
we interpret what we perceive
ergo free will exists
No dice.
If free will does not exist.
If the nature of the laws of the universe governs all the matter internal and external of your body.
And your interpretations of the world are reliant on the matter in your brain/body.
Then the interpretations of your brain are by extension governed by the laws of the universe. Not by 'you'.
'You' cannot separate yourself from the matter external of your body.
Therefore 'you' as an object cannot be found.
"Or perhaps it's just in my nature."
You cannot have a nature for you cannot find yourself. Literally!
