So, to me, we can manipulate our brains (that operate via genes, chemistry, etc) via experiences (things we learn). You say we are our brains, so when we manipulate our brain, really what is happening is that our brain is manipulating itself. Did I get that right? So, since our brain is manipulating itself and we are our brain, it's free will. Correct? Sort of like a brain with arms and legs walking around (and a nose, and mouth, and hands, and...).
