I do not believe in free will

You may ask some thing like why do I get up in the morning? Its because I like getting up in the morning. I like doing things I have motivation to do so because of lusts for things like food social interaction love sex and knowledge. But this is irrelevant, nothing to do with whether or not we have free will or not.

Human beings are a product of the hard wiring in there brain and the conditioning that this brain goes through. If you choose to get out of bed its because you choose to based on your what ever motivation you have at the time. Lets just say your motivation is to get a banana(obviously very simplified). You go get that Banana because you have experienced Banana's in the past and have had positive feed back from eating bananas. Therefore you have been conditioned to like Bananas and therefore decided to get out of bed to get one. There is all ways causation for your actions. If you choose to do some thing its because the sum of your hardware and conditioning has caused you to do so.

You might say but hey ill not go get this hypothetical banana to prove this guy wrong even though I am hungry and I know bananas taste yummy. But you are not proving me wrong at all. You are choosing to not go get the banana because you have felt satisfaction from proving your point correct in the past (or some other singular or composite causation) hence you attempt to prove me wrong by not getting the banana. It is just another example of cause and effect.

You made a choice but a choice is just a calculation (obviously not necessarily in the mathematical sense of the word) you make based on your consciousness's perceptions and understandings of information which is the stimulus it is currently receiving and the memory of stimulus it has received in the past. And is therefore is not free at all. The same rules of cause and effect apply to your choices as to every thing else in the universe. If there is a part of your brain that reacts a certain way to certain stimuli and you receive this certain stimuli and there are no factors that stop you from reacting that way then that part of the brain will react that certain way to that certain stimuli.

What would free will be if it did exist? Magical randomness in the brain? There is no such thing as random events. The property of Randomness is just effects caused by things you do not have the ability to perceive (For example if you role a dice the result may appear random because you don't have the ability to perceive the factors that caused the given result but it is not. It was caused by the various factors involved in the dice throwing e.g mass of dice the way it was thrown ect). But assuming randomness could exist that isn't free will it is just randomness effecting our brain. Some thing that happens for no reason doesn't mean we have power over our destiny it just means things happen with out cause which is very separate from free will.

There is a appearance of free will but I acknowledge I am just a complicated chemical system that's a slave to the laws of physical reality like every thing else. Ill use a analogy to illustrate my thesis. Peoples lives are the trajectory of a cannonball they them selves are the cannon ball and the factors of there lives are the factors that effect the trajectory of the cannon ball. Once the cannon ball is fired it will have a set trajectory based on the given factors. The same is true with human beings once they are born they will react certain ways to given stimuli based upon many factors. The difference between human beings and cannon balls is the factors that make up the trajectory of a human life can not all be quantified and qualified and human beings have a consciousness. Human beings have a tendency to label these unknowable factors as free will.

You probably have a urge to believe that your actions are based on your environment then you utilise "free will" to react to the stimulus denying or accepting initial basic reaction. But remember the motivation to eat the Banana that was your initial and basic reaction to eat the banana because it tastes good. You may choose to deny it based on "free will" but as explained before you are just reacting a certain way based on the motivation that is not as apparent and hence you may not be conscious of this "higher" motivation so you assume you are doing it from free will.

You may still be denying my reasoning with out seeing a flaw in my logic.
You might have a little voice that says "what's my reason to do any thing if its true". For one this is a logical fallacy called appealing to consequences and two imagine I am right for a second would you really do any thing differently? You are still the same person that likes doing the same things the same person that Still gets upset when people you care about get hurt. Cause and effect is the only effect. I am not saying its good or bad I am just saying it is.
