I can't get the song out of my head, Geddy Alex and Neil
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.

You have free will to do anything the legalities of free will should be in question. Government removes free will and imposes man's law from murder to seat belts to weeds in yard. On the other hand they'll let you kill yourself if it'll be profitable. ( adding chemicals to tobacco, prescription pills etc.)

Appreciate that, that's always what I love about these forms. Other people's 2 cents that dont add to the conversation but add to the argumentative conversation. Nice to pick through what people say to pick out a excerpt to correct without adding something to it. My point was we are allowed to do them even tho it kills us, but are restricted form doing other things that dont. Things that cant be tax or attached to a medical bill etc. I said all that you could just respond with tobacco is the killer. Lol what's crazy is you assume all 600 chemicals are found in a plant those 600 chemicals turn into over 7000 when smoked. All that comes from a natural plant youd believe anything.

Free will is cheap talk. Hot air over vocal chords. We are following our program without exception. You are free to choose from available options. The options are determined by life. It guides us. It makes you think you want to do the things it has you do. Makes its job easier. If you choose to go against the plans life lays, then you will get to do what it wants you to do, but the hard way. You're choice. Might as well do what you think you want to do. It will make things go smoother.

What a f'ing bummer , we all are manipulated by a program......well I did enjoy the " Matrix ".

Maybe not a bummer. Depends on mental perspective and physical position. Could be a grand time.
I really liked several parts of the first movie. I just got around to watching M IV last night. It was the same. Good stuff. Cycles, programs, social commentary, free will... I really enjoyed the dialogue where the concept of having a choice was an illusion. I don't watch movies much. I had to watch this one though.

Mental perspective vs what other perspective ? How are " physical position " and programming interdependent ? I need some schooling on this subject !

Mental perspective as two people doing the same job and one loving it while the other finds it unsatisfying. Physical position being the exact set of circumstances one finds themselves to be in. Like socioeconomic status.
Set and setting.
The good news is that there is free will. The bad news is it's not always our own will.

It’s not whether it exists or not, it’s how you approach it. We didn’t, or do not remember having a say in being here, and we don’t have a say in the hereafter. All that there is left is to consider that here in 3D there are laws that all must follow - you can’t choose to skirt gravity, for instance, without mechanical advantage that works within the laws. What is left, then, is the conditioning of our consciousness. Go ahead and run headlong into a wall, that’s up to you, but, do that enough and your consciousness will suffer as a result. That’s cause and effect, a law.
