How free is our mind?

Are we able to make decision based on our psychological free will, ore is a decission just the product of biochemical processes in our brain?

Propaganda pre-determines a lot of attitudes the vast majority of mainstream-media watching public has towards various things

I really just skipped over every single senseless word rambled through-out in this guys post, although I'm rather unsure about exactly what it says, I'm 100% certain that it's some really dumb trollin bullshit.

I don't particularly believe in free will, but the alternative is scary.

Couple good reads on the matter.

how free is your mind, did you just make the second line up yourself? or do you think noctious fluids and such made it from your brain...

to an extent we are free willed, other then that our brain constricts what we don't know ^^_, prolly for a good reason, prolly not.

They are all extremely complicated biochemical processes, but unfortunately this forums' excessive use of marijuana has made you all into existential-thinking psuedoscientists who need to do something with their lives instead of asking dumb questions that they think are "deep" on the internet.
