Moral Psychology
#11
RE: Moral Psychology
I think we just have different definitions of free will. I define free will as the ability of my genetics and experiences to determine what I will do. So, essentially, I consider free will being controlled by genetics, as your genetics and experiences make the decision which you inherently agree with.
Does that make any sense?

I think you're right in the sense that it is a combination of what our brains are pre-programmed to do, and what our personalities our molded like through experience in our life times.
