Suppose that you did have free will—what would you do with it? Some say that to have a will at all means that you aren’t free, and that may be true. So let’s just say that free will is being able to choose your own will. But from what possibilities will you choose from? Most likely, a will that can be achieved properly by a human. So you would choose some arbitrary will and then perfectly long for that goal, almost guaranteed to succeed. Now ask yourself, would you be that much different than those who achieve their wills without this libertarian free will? Would you not also be trying to achieve some sort of positive experience just as they are? And are they not able to do what they think is good, as you are? Unfortunately, they aren’t as free as you, because they still may make mistakes, and do what they know is an inferior decision, but still, at times, they might as well have free will. Science has shown that people who exercise their willpower will become disciplined over time, finding it easier to do what’s good for them.

In this world, discipline is freedom, and you can attain it.
