I agree completely with all of this. YOU were free to choose which, and YOU did.
Ah, but if it wasn’t YOUR destiny, then how is it YOUR choice? That is, if it can’t be explained how YOU came to choose as you did, with an explanation that goes from who you are, your values and desires and so on, to the actions you made, then in what way was the choice “yours” at all? That’s one of the main reasons “free will” is not only not NECESSARY for moral responsibility, but is in fact INCOMPATIBLE with it.
In theory, or in practice? I have the same thought here as does Nighttime: so a totally random event is an exercise of free will now? What?
