What is we? What are you changing, and what is doing the changing? How is the change accomplished? Maybe your will changes "you". Maybe, that has something to do with you being "your will" (reverse the order if you like). The author of your actions? I thought we were talking about free will? Is this what free will means to you, being the author of your actions? Well, I concede the argument, by that definition you have free will, you are the author of your actions. I'm not sure what that has to do with free will, but if that's the definition you want to give it, then it's sort of a non-argument, isn't it?
