Why do you think someone might choose this? I'm asking about the purpose- the will- behind such a choice. Because in seeing no purpose, I find myself concluding that a free will choice did not occur.
I'm not saying you would necessarily know! I certainly don't know. And it doesn't seem that anybody here in the thread knows either.
As for free will, this is what I am trying to say. I believe that free will, first and foremost, requires an act of the will. Secondly, that the will must be truly free.
I'm assuming we would agree on at least that much. I will leave it to you to point out where our views appear to diverge.
