GK: It makes sense. I don't decide to breath. I can't realy decide to start "doing drugs". We clearly do not have 100% free will.

> If you mean that our decision-making is very colored by our backgrounds and teachings, then I agree that free will is not entirely free. But I've changed my mind several times in my lifetime in various aspects of my life. My will is very free.

> 
> I agree. Study, study, study to decide the important questions. Knowledge overrides emotions.-yes that is what I meant. That is why I used 100% free. How free we are is open for debate. And yes again. Learn as much as we can or have time for. And understand the limits of that knowledge. And speak to what we do know.
