>outside of your own influence.
My experiences and predispositions are a part of who I am.
Any decisions I make will be influenced by who I am, especially if we're postulating free will.
Free will isn't disproved because I can't will myself to be a different height. Being 5'11" is a part of who I am, and may influence my decisions.
My experiences, on the other hand are very much subject to my control.
I not only choose where I go and what experiences I have there, but perception itself is a subjective experience.
That's why eyewitness testimony is so unreliable, and often different witnesses have different stories.
Not because some witnesses lie, but because perception happens in the context of our own experiences and dispositions, which varies from one person to the next.

>If I have a free will, my choice is not determined by those weights.
If you have free will, your decision will be determined by those weights, but it will still be YOU making the decisions.

>I could follow the choice my brain wants most but I could also choose differently.
>the choice my brain wants most but I could also choose differently.
>the choice my brain wants most
>choice my brain wants

What organ would you use to make the decision besides the brain?
