Is free will a myth?

No, that's not at all what this means. You aren't ordering your brain to continue debating. The chemical reactions in your brain end up with a result that leads you to continue debating. It just means that the external stimuli that would cause you to stop debating aren't significant enough to disrupt the ongoing chemical processes in your brain. Really, this is such a poor argument that I'm surprised to see it coming from you Rol. Like, literally nothing about it holds water.

Hm...

So if you didn't do your homework, you tell your teacher that you had no choice.

And if I keep responding to you, you have no choice but to respond to me. You are my bitch.

I think I am beginning to understand.

But keep in mind, your teacher will also have no choice but to complain and tell your parents, who will have no choice but to ensure there are some reprimands. Depending of course on how the genetics and the environment that your teacher and parents grew up in (both of which they had no choice in picking), which will influence the end result. Similarly, you have no choice but to continue writing sarcastic and amusing comments on the forum. And when or if you stop, you had no choice there either. It was all a result of other factors affecting the chemicals in your brain which leads to you doing one thing and then the other.

Of course, you are just joking here with this post, yet it's the closest you have been to being accurate in this thread.

If you are genuinely interested in knowing more, I could point you in the direction of a lot of material that could probably do a better job at explaining this than I have.
