Yapmayı seçtiğiniz şeyleri yapabilirsiniz; ama ne yapmayı seçeceğinizi seçemezsiniz.
Her halükârda etkin olarak istediklerimi yapmaya meyilliyim. Ve neyin etkin olacağına karar veremediğim gibi, isteklerimi de önceden belirleyemem. Benim zihni dünyam çok basit bir şekilde bana kozmos tarafından sağlanmıştır. Neden su yerine meyve suyu içmeye karar vermedim? Hiç aklıma gelmedi. Peki yapabileceğim ama aklıma gelmeyen şeyleri yapmakta özgür müyüm? Kesinlikle hayır.

Imagine that a person claims to have no need to eat food of any kind—rather, he can live on light.From time to time, an Indian yogi will make such a boast, much to the merriment of skeptics. Need-less to say, there is no reason to take such claim sseriously, no matter how thin the yogi. However, a compatibilist like Dennett could come to the charlatan’s defense: The man does live onlight—we all do—because when you trace the origin of any food, you arrive at something that depends on photosynthesis. By eating beef, we consume the grass the cow ate, and the grass ate sunlight. So the yogi is no liar after all. But that’s not the ability the yogi was advertising, and his actual claim remains dishonest (or delusional). This is the trouble with compatibilism. It solves the problem of “free will” by ignoring it.
Even if the human mind were made of soul-stuff, nothing about my argument would change. The unconscious operations of a soul would grant you no more freedom than the unconscious physiology of your brain does.
If you pay attention to your inner life, you will see that the emergence of choices, efforts, and intentions is a fundamentally mysterious process.
You are not in control of your mind because you, as a conscious agent, are only part of your mind, living at the mercy of other parts.You can do what you decide to do—but you cannot decide what you will decide to do. Of course,you can create a framework in which certain decisions are more likely than others—you can, for instance, purge your house of all sweets, making it very unlikely that you will eat dessert later inthe evening—but you cannot know why you were able to submit to such a framework today when you weren’t yesterday
