I think this honesty begins with calling out that free will is a crutch and a band aid to avoid honesty. The idea of Free Will is an exercise in self delusion. And the irony is that if I could consciously delude myself into a chosen frame of mind, I would, but I can't because I do not have true control of programming my will or the freedom of an open standard biological system to apply it to.Consider that free will is also the application of honesty.
