If it is free, it means you have total control over the decision, rejecting everything you can and basing your decision completely on your own thinking. If the decision is told to you by your subconscious (as an order), I can't see how that can be construed as free will. If you have to follow it no matter what, freedom disappears.

I find it interesting that if you say that, you are also saying nothing is then 'yours'. Everything is the result of the physics that went into making you. You didn't decide to create this website; you don't decide to post to it.. and so on into every decision you now don't make.

It seems freedom is already lost. It was never there to start with. Unless that is you accept freedom includes our subconscious decisions.

FREEDOM!!!

Sorry Smile

What you say is correct I think, but I also think if you discount free will with it you are making some fundamental contradictions bilaterally.
