r/freewill on Reddit: Define "you" meaningfully
August 4, 2024 -

In these discussions of free will, there are references to "you," sometimes described as an agent who is not controlled completely by deterministic forces.

Free will advocates explain that you do not make choices randomly either but, rather, you wilfully make at least some of them.

So, if "you" do not make choices simply as part of a long chain of actions you don't control and you don't make them randomly, how do "your" choices work?

From the free will viewpoint, you don't mechanistically tally up the personal utility of one choice vs. another; that would be determined by previous experiences and genetics, i.e. predetermined.

Yet if you don't always apply your values precisely to make a choice (that would be predictable and thus unfree), and your choice is not determined by a random element out of your control, please explain meaningfully how you make free choices, the essence of a free "you."

Urban Dictionary: You Define You
Just like you are what you eat, you are a manifestation of what you think and feel about yourself. Bullies can't steal your joy, unless you let them. They can beat you, they can steal your possessions, they can try to cut you down with words, but they will never steal the joy inside your soul because you know better; you know who you are.

Things That Define You: How to Identify What is Truly Important
Everyone makes mistakes throughout their life- some people may feel like these choices led them down paths that eventually defined who they became as an adult. Although it might seem like this is true, if you did something bad at one point in time, or you made a mistake that you regret to this day, it does not mean that you have to let those choices impact your life forever.
