Do you think/believe humans as individuals have free will?

Our brains are genetically hard wired.

We cannot choose to live and not breath.

We cannot choose to live and not feel.

We cannot choose to live and not eat.

What can we choose to do? Before you answer these question I would like to say two things if I may.

No one person alive can say anything meaningful about what it is to experience the sensation of colour.

At the same time many techniques are available to the community to map neurological activity to particular human conscious sensations.. .

Oh and a third thing. Please choose a randon number. . .

Sorry if you were born five hundred years ago because you would not have been able to do it.. . . .
