Unlike Nietzsche, I do think free will exists. If you're interested in what Nietzsche thinks, he says that basically in a situation where there is a choice, you would always make the same choice under the same set of circumstances, so you are not really choosing anything.
first how do you define free will? what makes you think free will exist? and it`s not so much what i define as fate but how would you define fate?
The word "fate" really has many meanings, so I picked "fate" as determinism to respond to. If you are thinking about something else, I can try to address that as well.
The only evidence I have one way or another is my own experience, and in my own experience, I have been able to make choices freely and consciously.
