I guess we have a free will of sorts. The arrticles begins with tasks that we do not challenge or provoke us. I would suggest that the will is present even in the task of walking or any menial task. Our will can be seen in how we walk, how we engage. There is no one style or approach to walking. that is what makes the task of an actor in a play or movie interesting-the life he or she brings to the part. We just do not normally reflect on these parts of ourself.

Jump to bigger decisions such as career or deciding which of the two charities to give to in the essay and we pause. We reflect. Different parts of the brain come to life and are brought into the process or conversation. And this process is neither purely nature nor nurture, but rather a negotiation between our bodies, our brains, and the world, leading ultimately to a complexity that we call consciousness. Again it just having a range of parts or modules of the brain engaged and us reflecting on what is offered by each.

Ultimately, that process is complex and involves a self, a body and brain engaged in the examination of the world and what is desired and what is possible and arriving at how to proceed, how to act. and then you add language and culture to this view, which may perhaps be implicit, it just becomes that much richer. Our Freedom at the social level is truly first based upon our mobility and how we move, and where we move to, but we are not talking of freedom but of free will. I think we can in our embodied minds have both.
