You don't chose to do anything. Your brain makes decisions and you take full credit for them. This is plainly visible too.

If I ask you to think of a car manufacturer, your brain just served up a name. No conscious input from you, no choice made, your brain decided what car maker to think of.

Maybe you think of a few and then decide from those which one to "think of" (even though you already thought of one) in effort to inject "choice". But if you pay attention to the process here, its clear that its not even you selecting. It's your brain moving the selector of which one to "think of". It's your brain that served up those other names.

Free will isn't even an illusion. It just straight up isn't even there. It's just that 99.999999% of people never even pay attention to how their head works. But it's obvious when you observe it.




And, if I go back in time and ask again, you'd choose the same manufacturer every time.

However, if I go back in time, ask you to roll a die first (or some other minimal perturbation), and THEN ask again, you might actually answer differently already; depending.
