FreeWill
Did you choose to do that? If so, do you have the ability to suspend choosing whether or not you will suspend choosing while you judge the merits of following one course of action (suspending choosing) or another (not to suspend)?
If so, can you suspend choosing that?
And that?
And that?
This is summed up rather eloquently by Rush in their song "Freewill"
Rush writes:
You can choose a ready guide
in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears
or kindness that can kill.
I will choose a path that's clear.
I will choose freewill,
