Human will and volition give people agency (and a degree of autonomy) when making decisions.
In any given situation, people have multiple genuine options they could choose from, rather than being limited to a single predetermined outcome.
The future is not set in stone - it can be changed.
Individuals have freedom in the decisions they make--an ability to choose between multiple potential outcomes.
It is possible for people to act in ways that are not predetermined by their past experiences or environment.
Although factors like nature and nurture influence our decisions, we ultimately are capable of choosing freely.
Human decisions are shaped by our independent will, even when influenced by biochemical process, physics, etc.
People are the true origin of their decisions, not merely the result of external causes or influences.
External influences like upbringing shape our decisions but do not override our freedom to choose.
Free will (or freedom in decision-making) is an illusion created by the brain to explain our behavior.
All future outcomes are inevitable, and the decisions that people will make are already fixed.
My response to every situation, and every decision I make between now and the end of my life, is already determined.
The universe operates in a way that leaves no room for genuine randomness or flexible outcomes based on free will.
Human behavior is solely governed by cause-and-effect relationships, like every other natural phenomena.
The more we understand the causes of human behavior, the less room there is for free will to exist.
People have no real control over their actions because everything is determined by physical laws.
The decisions we make are completely determined by factors outside of our control, such as genetics or environment.
