Why People Have Free Will

Most people will support their choice of company with some substantial claim, such as a memory. Psychoanalysis has demonstrated time and time again though, that the reason as to why people make decisions is often not recognized by them. For example, when analyzing subjects during experiments and economic games, psychologists have found that they can convince people to like or dislike each other without making it known to the subject. The subjects often have substantial reasons as to why they perhaps like someone, like the memory claim; but, they never accurately choose the variables that made them do certain things. In this case, having someone give a subject a hot beverage over a cold beverage statistically increases the likelihood that they will like that person; but, subjects rarely, if ever say that. Now, why does any of this matter, and what does it have to do with free will and moral obligation? Well, freedom of choice is often

Whether one acts more moral, or more immoral in either direction does not negate the claim. This is clearly logically incoherent because again, the effect that something has on the world does not change the inherent nature of a said
