The action is partly influenced by what the person could justify to others if he or she were to be asked to explain. That’s what free will is, perhaps. You consciously thought of the alternative options (perhaps mentally simulating various possible actions and consequences), and you made a choice for a reason that you could potentially explain to others. You use meaning to integrate yourself into the social group. That is what mattered in the evolutionary past (and still does today).
