Free will?* Yeah we have it.* But not the SUPREME Free Will of
  legend of course.* I don't think we have *that* much freedom.*
  We're too socially needy (even online) for that.

  We have the voices of our parents, siblings, friends from 3rd
  grade, the entertainment industry, the role-models of every
  cartoon, movie or tv show we ever watched, the words from any
  person on any social network or wikipedia page, every song we
  ever listened to... all influencing us.

  All those messages jumbling together; it's amazing we can find
  our way through this pile of spaghetti to come up with some kind
  of "self" at all.

  THEN you have genetics of course.

  Where's the "me" in all of this?

  Well, nobody else is pushing these keys on the keyboard.
