My earlier article titled   "Free Will could be an illusion"  did  provoke a thoughtful discussion on the   philosophy subreddit   from which I learned a lot, but then later it was removed. And quite understandably so as absolute determinism is quite a frightening thought for most humans, our freedom to   "will"   sort of defines who we are as humans and people can easily get intolerant towards any other alternative views.

People are usually under the impression that they have some kind of "free will" or volition, as in they are independent to do anything they wish (to the extent of using their motor functions or practical abilities). But do you have any concrete evidence of such a free will existing, all you have is a feeling that you are the doer or cause of the signals being sent to your motor functions through your nervous system.
