5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The only place free will source from is quantum randomness.
Also, better believe in free will. If you are wrong, it wasn't really your choice, and if you are right you can do more.
Randomness doesn't give us free will. It gives us chaos. No free will and no fate, just bullshit.
Well, how do you define free will?
I thought about it for quite some time and defined it for myself as following: free will is possibility to make two different choices in identical (down to quantum level and below) set of two universes. That applies only to something that has a "will", which is yet to be defined.
If being in identical circumstances you predictably make identical decisions, that doesn't look like free will to me. Your choice was made by circumstances for you.
So yeah, chaos it is. Nothing bad in it.
