    Will is not action, will is forwarding of future action. You don't will something, and immediately act, it's more an essence of a action to be. Do we have free will? If one isn't referring to an ultimate kind of freedom, then yes, the simplest yes and no question is presented to us all the time and we can literally say no or literally say yes. Whether or not the reason for us choosing either is reduced to its compound, doesn't make choosing redundant, for it doesn't have to be reduced, it's our own decision, there is the conscious owner of each body and we are in control of this decision. Some minds may not be in control of their decisions, this is weakness of the mind.

    An argument against free will is an arguement against consciousness.
