>>Most dictionary definitions stress "one's own discretion".
>The OP already addressed this.
No, the OP moved the goalposts by insisting on a strawman version of the definition of free will.
"If only I can define it specifically enough, I can insist it doesn't exist!"

Robert Heinlein used to do the same thing with altruism (and rights).
He would define altruism in a way that couldn't possibly be satisfied, then complain that there wasn't any "true" altruism.

>Occam's Razor, friend.
lol, nope.
Occam's Razor would suggest travel between the stars is very difficult, the universe is sparsely populated, and if intelligent, tool-bearing life is plentiful, it's because it evolved in so many diverse environments that any given neighbors probably couldn't live comfortably on Earth.
See also: Hitchen's Razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

>I mean there is literally no difference.
I'm sure my employer will like that there's some one around that can pass for me, but I'd still be dead.

>When you are anestetizeid (sorry i'm not english) you go to sleep; but you literally cease to exist as a mind.
Nope, that's incorrect.
Brain activity only ceases with brain death.
Besides, even if it did, that doesn't mean *I* will ever wake up in cyberspace, just someone who thinks they're me.

>Would you notice the difference?
Of course. *I* would be dead. Some other person who thinks they're me might be fooled though.
What if you hypnotized someone into believing they're me?
Same story.
