If you didn't choose your personality, does anyone have free will?
Post Body

Basically, I think nobody has free will over anything they do. Even though we all feel like we have free will, it's just an illusion. Here's why. Everything everyone does is determined by their personality. And nobody ever chose their personality. So if everything we do is determined by our personality, and nobody chose their personality, then has anyone ever chose anything? And one could also say that there's a different element of personality, as in there as in soul or something. But even then, nobody chose who they are as a person. Nobody chose how different things affect them and how those things affect how they think. Life didn't have a character selection screen. But everything we do, is determined by our personality, or soul or whatever. So if we didn't pick that, then we really haven't ever made a choice right? We're just a vessel acting out a personality that was given to us. This theory works with what we know of science and physics, because at what point does life become life? At what point did I become me and can feel. There wasn't a point, and instead we're just atoms reacting to atoms like everything else in the world.
