    Arguing that we do not have free will based on “physical and biological luck” is misguided.

    All physics and biology is mere observation. We know of neurons due to microscopes, Protons from cloud chambers. We know free will in the same way, observation. Accept a far more regular, definate and intimate observation. I have not actually seen a neuron except in a textbook, even then, those who wrote the text book probably did not spend as much of their lives over glass slides as they did deciding upon things. Moreover, no interpretation of my experiences is needed to arrive at a notion of will, whereas scientific data must be intrepreted before they can produce meaning.
