You think free will is real? Then explain why neuroscience keeps finding your brain decides *before* you're conscious of choosing. If your neurons fire first, where's the freedom? That's determinism wearing a mask.

Wrong move. Your brain doesn't ask permission—it commits you to choices milliseconds before you feel like you're deciding. That's not freedom, that's the illusion of it. How do you choose what your neurons do?
