Determining Free Will
In spite of our actions,
Some events occur because we determine them.
Would you seriously say, 'Why bother to lookwhen I cross the road, for my fate is already decided.'
Certainly our desire for freedom includes the requirement that what we decide may actually be caused by us to happen.

Determinism asserts that every decision is determined in advance.
In fact, the freedom to choose tea or coffee,
In reality your choice was destined from the moment you were born.
I couldn't make a decision!
Does this make us less than free?

One opinion is that real freedom to choose tea or coffee means that the results leading up to the choice were repeated,
Then there is a probability that I would choose differently on the repeated performance.
Such an outcome is clearly incompatible with determinism.

If that is what is meant by freedom it's existence must be a matter of pure faith.
What you will do is determined by elements beyond your control, but you can never know, even in principle.
Is this enough to satisfy the desire for free will?

This idea asserts that our minds are external to the physical world, but can somehow react into it and influence what happens.
Therefore, as far as the physical world alone is concerned not all events can be determined, because my mind is not part of the physical world.
