Thoughts on free will? Are we really, "free"? The choice is ours yes of course, but everyday we are influenced by pretty much everything around us. Heck even when I see my friends study or eat donuts, I wanna follow suit? Or maybe that& #39;s just my preference? Maybe some others-

-don& #39;t do that? But surely, surely the system controls us in some ways. Governments, ancient philosophers& #39; theories that makes us have weelly existential crisis, horoscope predictions, religions? These systems I mean. And probably school, politics, the economy?-

-How free are we actually? Isn& #39;t liberalism an idea as well? Root word liberal, means to accept others& #39; ideas, what if I freely choose not to? Maybe, maybe I& #39;m just thinking too much. Does that indicate I& #39;m fully free, to own these thoughts? To be able to think my own?-

-But what did influence me to have these thoughts? Oh you want an answer? I freely don& #39;t want to give you. Nah here, my thoughts "unfreely" came from this.
