If a person ever does something that is the exact opposite of what it wants, then there is something that motivated it to do so. Whether he is aware of it or not. Most criminals probably don't want to rob banks but does it anyway because they need the money. Some serial killers may feel deeply sorry for their victims but does it anyway because they enjoy it too much and want to remain mentally stable (from its own point of view). If people ever makes a decision that goes against their will, they do so because of the profits. |
Having a motive to choose something doesn't negate the fact that a choice is made. In the case of conflicting motives, there is the choice of which motive to follow: the desire to drink and smoke and fuck everything in sight, or the desire to live an ascetic lifestyle and rise above baser things.
According to your definition of free will, what would it even mean? Randomly choosing things for no reason whatsoever? How could such a thing exist?
