I don't state that there is such a thing as free will. Quite the opposite. Free will is an illusion. Free agency, which is what is commonly meant by free will, is not illusionary. It's real. You are free, given natural and lawful constraints, to act as you are programmed.

From early consciousness you are trapped in a linear sequence of events and choices that you had to make. You cannot choose to do any other. Even an anti choice would be predictable.
