Poll: What is free will worth

[IceStar100]

(Ok I don?t have the best spelling and or grammar so if that bugs you please stop reading here.)
Anyone still here ok I?ve been thinking about this a lot and can only use my own view point. I want to see what others have to say. So here is the set up.

God a demon what whatever makes you an offer to be the person who always in the right place at the right time. The guy who leave a Spanish supermodel girlfriend for a brazilin lingerie model. The go who just happened to help change the tire to the head man of the number one fortune 500 company and ends up as his number two and will take his place when he leave.

Here the kicker to do this you will lose the ability to make your own choice this being willed make them all for you. This could be the last choice you ever make. That said you will not know this. So how much is freewill worth? Even know that in the future every good thing that happens to you has nothing to do with you.

Here, I was hoping it would be just: 'answer the title question', to which I had a witty response of 'one's life'.

OT: Sorry, had to re-read those two paragraphs... and, nah. If it's my life as per my values (I have a distinct lack of ambition), then perhaps, but you know what? I'm living that already, so I'll stick with it, thanks.

Not much considering it was free. OLOLOLOLOL

Seriously though, the examples you gave were an exercise of free will. The guy who went to the Brazilian lingerie model could have stayed with his girlfriend but he made the choice not to. But I suppose you're going deeper than that. It sounds like your saying that all external stimuli and circumstances take away your free will because you didn't have anything to do with their coming about.

I suppose even if you said you were the lone human sitting in blackness there's still external stimuli and circumstance that will dictate you next action. You'll either sit their in the dark doing nothing or you'll get up and walk toward nothing. Not of your choosing, that's just the hand your dealt. I won't go further than that because it becomes too obscure to think about let alone type coherently to others.

Technically speaking, there is no such thing as free will.
Our brains control what we think and do, right? And a brain is incredibly similar to a computer, all we do is just react to things, and how we react is surprisingly easy to figure out (have you read some of the cracked articles?).
