Free Will, Free Won't?

[Ryantology]

It's better if we just assume we have our own freewill and carry about our business as normal. We may well run on autopilot most of the time to save energy but I'd say we can flip out of it and take full control when necessary.

I agree. The sheer scale of a deterministic universe is so far beyond us as individuals, or even as a species, that we'll never grasp any more than an insignificant portion of the whole process. Even if every single action we execute was set in stone 13.7 billion years ago, we don't individually have the capacity to utilize that fact in any sort of useful predictive way. So, to me, it makes no real difference to me whether or not I was fated to want fries with that.
