And the chemicals in your brain are your brain unless you think that the mind and the body are distinct.

Exactly. Pointing out that who you are is just a natural part of the reactionary way the universe works doesn't exactly disprove free will as much as it proves my take that free will needs cause & effect to exist.

It's not poetic.
See, it literally sinks down to attacking somebody personally because you lack comprehension. And I could say that you just don't like acknowledging how much control you actually do have over your situation because it makes you partially accountable for your own misery and it's easier to tell yourself you don't have any true meaningful power. For me it's honestly less comforting because I can't just blame everything but myself for my situation and puts the responsibility on me to try and influence an outcome in my best interest.

It's okay to be confused. What I meant was that being able to describe a process doesn't mean that it was dictated.

I don't really ride for the phrase free will since it's based in the religious condemnation of man so no argument there. The word consciousness works just as well. Quote:

Yeah you're still just obsessing over your own agency because that's what everyone obsesses over their own life all the time no matter who you are. It's terrifying to accept but you still feel like a human being and it it still allows for the narcissism of centering your worldview around you and your "choices". It's just the center of human consciousness. Except it's also ****.
The simplest ****. But you have no intention seeing past it so I'm just talking to a wall.
