how do you know those choices will affect anything differently, have you ever thought "if i went back in time, and i did this differently, would things be different than they are now? or would one thing lead to another, and is this my fate?"


There is no such thing as fate.

Every one dies, thats not fate thats reality.
The choices you make untill you die are your own to make.

This entire topic is retarded..
You make choices, you choose what you want to do..
Regardless of the end result, you made the decisions so you had free will..
Do you understand?

No i don't, I always feel that other things that are superior to me are just guiding me, i feel as though no matter what I did, it wasn't because I chose to do it, it was because I was influenced to do it (such as routine things, being normal) or just guided, because sometimes i dont know why i did something, if it's irrational or such, etc...

and what natural instincts? stuff like that?

The choices you make are a direct result of your surrounding environment and a product of evolution.

Your Circadian rhythm or 'body clock' is governed by light. Scientists have recently discovered how well preserved the circadian rhythm is throughout the animal kingdom through a study of genomics and humans are no exception. It is this circadian rhythm that controls when (and the speed at which) physiological and biochemical processes within your body occur. It is a comlex interaction between your environment and the integration of many different parts within your brain that 'enables' you to make decisions.

How do you define free will? I think this is the only way to really start a discussion about this topic.
