Take a moment to think about the context in which your next decision will occur: You did not pick your parents or the time and place of your birth. You didnt choose your gender or most of your life experiences. You had no control whatsoever over your genome or the development of your brain. And now your brain is making choices on the basis of preferences and beliefs that have been hammered into it over a lifetime - by your genes, your physical development since the moment you were conceived, and the interactions you have had with other people, events, and ideas. Where is the freedom in this? Yes, you are free to do what you want even now. But where did your desires come from? You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do.
