I adore the idea of will and self-control, but I have a nasty thought experiment going on right now. Can I think of any instance in my life where I've done something that couldn't be explained as a result of chemistry? Something truly individual enough to show "will"?
While my personal philosophy almost entirely relies on the ability to choose one own's fate, I'm not sure whether anything is undetermined - whether anyone makes any conscious decisions at all.
