Most people miss the point when they discuss free will because they focus on the idea of whether we are free to make decisions in real time.
Free will is something that happens OVER TIME.
In other words you have free will to the extent that your previous decisions allowed you to survive which was again based on other previous decisions and so you are constantly accumulating and changing "code to your program" so to speak because you can reflect on the results of your pre-defined behavior.
