Free will by definition is the ability to unbiasedly choose between at least two options.
To WHO or to WHAT is this 'the definition' of 'free will'?
And, if this is 'the definition' of 'free will' to some of 'you', human beings, then there is now NO wonder WHY those ones were STILL ATTEMPTING to argue or fight over that absolutely RIDICULOUS question of; 'free will' OR 'determinism'?
This is my definition. The wiki definition is similar to mine.
AND, 'wiki', just like 'you', "bahman", as well as the rest of 'you', adult human beings, STILL have NOT YET worked out and SOLVED, what has been PUZZLING 'you', human beings, for centuries now, (when this was being written). So, OBVIOUSLY, there is some 'thing' Wrong or AMISS here, correct?
Could 'that', what is Wrong or AMISS here, JUST BE the definition/s that 'you', human beings, have been CHOOSING and USING?
Or, is that JUST NOT a possibility, in your OWN 'little worlds'?

To show that free will is real we discuss three different situations that which a free decision is needed. We consider a situation with only two options, A and B. We may like A more than B and choose A. This is a non-free decision that we call it conditional decision. We may like A and B equally and choose one of them. It is clear that we cannot be biased by one of the options so our decision is free in such a situation.
HOW would 'you' KNOW 'this'? And, WHY would 'you' ASSUME 'this'?
Is it POSSIBLE to 'like' two DIFFERENT 'things' ABSOLUTELY 'equally'?

And, IF 'you' do 'like' two DIFFERENT 'things' EQUALLY, then WHY did 'you' CHOOSE 'one' OVER 'the other'?
Because I want to pick one and I am able to choose one.
Because you are ABLE to choose one, is NEVER in doubt, and has NEVER been DISPUTED by ANY one. Well not that I am YET AWARE OF.
However, it is because of 'your' WANT, which is what EVERY one here that is DISAGREEING or DISPUTING 'you' is QUESTIONING and CHALLENGING 'you' ON and ABOUT.
WHY 'you' WANTED 'that one', (whatever that might be), is what 'you' are being TOLD IS 'the bias'. And, as you have been CONTINUALLY TOLD and INFORMED OF ALSO, it is 'the bias' (the 'want' for 'that one'), which 'you' OBVIOUSLY have, which has just as OBVIOUSLY come from pre-existing conditions that 'you', (or more correctly 'that body') has OBVIOUSLY previously experienced, which is WHY 'that choice' of 'yours' was NOT a 'free-will' choice. That is; going on your OWN definition of 'free will' here.
Do 'you' UNDERSTAND this now?

There are situations that which the future outcome of A or B is not known.
Like 'what', for example?
bahman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 9:06 pm
Again we cannot be biased by one of the options yet we can decide so such a decision is free too.
Like 'what', 'where', or 'when', for example, EXACTLY?
Like when you want to invest in a market but you don't know the future outcome of your investing.
The reason WHY 'you' WANT 'to invest', is A 'bias'. Thus, NOT 'free will', according to your OWN definition of 'free will'.
The reason WHY 'you' ended up CHOOSING 'the investment', which 'you' finally did, would have been based on AGAIN, your WANT and thus your 'biases'. Thus, NOT 'free will' AGAIN, according to your OWN definition of 'free will' here.
The SOLE REASON WHY 'you' ended up CHOOSING 'the investment' strategy, literally, of YOUR CHOICE, was BECAUSE 'you' thought or BELIEVED it would be the BEST 'one' for 'you' to OBTAIN MORE monetary gains.
So, YOUR BIASES came into PLAY. Thus, 'determinism' AT WORK here and NOT 'free will', from your OWN definition of 'free will' here.

We may like A more than B but we have the power to choose B for no specific reason.
THEN, WHY CHANGE 'your' DECISION?
I don't change my decision. I decide why I don't like.
What 'you' do NOT 'like' IS what 'you' do NOT 'want'. Thus, the DECISION 'you' MAKE on what 'you' do NOT 'like' NOR 'want' here is based on 'determinism' and NOT on 'free will', from your OWN definition of 'free will' here.
Also, and conversely, what 'you' DO 'like' IS what 'you' DO 'want'. Therefore, AGAIN, the DECISION 'you' MAKE on what 'you' DO 'like' AND 'want' here is based on 'determinism' and NOT on 'free will', from your OWN definition of 'free will' here.

This is again a free decision since we were biased by A but we were able to choose B.
But if you were 'biased', or there was a 'bias', then there was NOT the ability to 'unbiasedly choose', OBVIOUSLY.
So, I suggest STARTING AGAIN 'trying to' LOOK FOR words that you might be able USE, which could ACTUALLY back up and support your, obviously, CURRENTLY HELD BELIEFS and ASSUMPTIONS here.
There is this ability to choose unbiasedly. I can do this, you can do this.
PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE for 'us' to LOOK AT and SEE.
Then 'we', AT LEAST, have SOME 'thing' to DISCUSS and, literally, TALK ABOUT.
