Because you havent trained your immaterial mind/soul to master your material vessel and its instincts, drives, and imperatives. You have dont lack free will, you are just weak-willed. It's hard to overcome, but I believe we can do it and that it is one of the most important prerequisites for being able to live a happy and fulfilling life.

This, you're just weak and you allow yourself to be like this.

Part of it.

The greater part is your arrogant and think you know what is in your best interest. We dont know shit. Drop the arrogance. You can only chose for the better or worse. Your will is not free. You have the freedom to choose a better or worse option. 4 chan is a worse option, i would think. At least for me it is. Maybe your options are between meth and 4chan idk. At any get off 4chan.

because you're a subhuman.

said it best. your will is not strong enough to coordinate anything, therefore it recedes back into the core of your being.

But if our will is free then we should be able to do whatever we know is best. You said it yourself, we are limited by our nature. But if we were free, then our nature wouldn’t matter

Because your passions cloud your will. You have an intellect, will, and fourteen passions, the concupisible and the irascible. You want Intellect-> will-> passions->, but most have the opposite. Read Aquinas.
