Adrian,

I can get behind the idea of most of our actions being controlled by our subconscious, but how did our subconscious get to the state it is in now? It didn't author and edit itself so I would say that there was a certain amount of intellect that went into programming the subconscious which was led by free will. So free will isn't immediate but buffered into our subconscious by our choices about what knowledge we will accept.

Don't we choose what goes into our brains and therefore what affects our subconscious?
