I'm going to interject a notion.
As I consider the mind to be exactly the same thing as the brain, I consider 'free will' to be the capability for my genetics and experiences to effectively make me do things, so while I am being 'forced' to do something, it is the decision of my brain and therefore also the decision of my mind, since they're the same. Get it?
I consider 'free will' the capability of nature and nurture to make you pursue a course, so therefore it exists based upon my materialist definition.
