Re: Will Power

Will Power is a much discussed topic in certain 12 Step Recovery Programs and elsewhere I think. Anyway, here's my thought:
I can will today my Will today, but can I will today my Will tommorrow?

I hear people claiming quantum physics somehow refutes the logic of what seems to be a deterministic universe.
The way I see it, think of any action you can "will yourself to take". Now trace back why you took said action. Did you do it because I asked you to? Because your parents birthed you? Etc.
I think, barring some unknown variable or scientific fact which I cannot comprehend or am not informed of, free will is an illusion. This is because everything is caused by something else, thus you can not do anything truly "free" of everything else.
