you know those people who say that they think it would be "arrogant to assume that out of all the planets in the universe we are the only one with intelligent life"

I don't like those people. It's such a copout answer. You can just tell even when they say it, they say it like they're reading from a script. They don't believe it, they're just trying to convince themselves they believe it.

>implying that labelling something has any bearing on the nature of that thing

Calling reality a bunch of atoms isn’t as profound a statement as you think, it reveals nothing of the universe since we defined an atom as being a part of the universe. Therefore just as many properties can exist within the atom as without the atom.

You only have free will if you can control your desires and drives. If you are able to overcome the sex drive, you will be free. Otherwise, you will be a slave for the rest of your days, to be set off by the next passing stimulus.

Absolutely not
You've got a major case of observer selection bias (survivorship bias)
Doesn't matter how unlikely intelligent life is, it would always observe itself which is why it says nothing about the likelihood of life in general

If free will means anything it would be what it actually is. I think, free will is basically an ability to choose on what you will focus - not silly total control over your body.

Remove all stimuli from your enviroment. Block all images if you need to. Especially on 4chan.
Stop browsing the internet without a purpose.
Switch to a standing desk for now because you've associated the whole area with the habit. Resolve to never use that area to do masturbate and if you get aroused, turn off and walk away.
Stick to a rigid schedule.
Cease all video pornography, this replays in the subconscious mind over and over again, affects your dreams. If you falter, resort to non-hardcore, static images. Do not use your imagination. That's encouraging you to fantasize and tarnishes the imaginative faculties.
This will take time and when you fail you're going to be back doing it for a solid week again because of a hormonal rebound. Just persevere. Avoid arousing thoughts and scenarios.
