Free will exists due to our ability to judge and evaluate before we act upon our desires. Specifically, let's distinguish between freedom of action and freedom of will by asserting that the former concerns what one wants to do whereas the latter goes deeper and relates to one wanting to want what one does want...
1 We weigh our options and choose those which we anticipate will benefit ourselves.
2 Our values and priorities.
3 If we define free will as simply the ability of choice, then yes we have it. Though philosophically or maybe even neurologically, if our ability of choice is merely the behavior of our motives then we are, in a way, enslaved by ourselves. If we want to do the right thing, then we are adherents to our concept of right, minions to it.
i like your videos and i would like to recommend that you give a bit more thought on the title of your videos in order to take advantage of the search feature of youtube so that you can get more exposure :). Take care
I honestly don't believe in freewill. I don't believe we really think for ourselves. What happens is, over time we see the world from a certain perspective based on whats happened in our lives particularly, not anyone elses. That's why people differ in opinions. What we choose to do, and act is based on who we've become through experience. This is what I think.
The influence that is made on our will derives from social and cultural constructs. However severe consequences there may be, our will is still that of our own, it is just influenced by our dissonance towards the alternative. You could kill someone, no matter what you think, one is physically able to kill someone, whether or not they do however, is based on their willingness to act.
2. Our value judgements, other people's value judgements, belief in absolutism if it applies, the society we live in and the information that is available to us. More specific circumstances may produce others such as any coercive forces or physical, mental or mood/desire related limitations.
3. Everything that ever happens to us was caused by an effect. So I'd say that we don't. I'm taking "free will" here to mean completely free unaffected will. If that makes sense. Interesting experiment.
1. This highly depends on what the decision is. If I decide to touch a wall there is little at work except the desire to touch the wall and the brain sending the signal to the arm and hand to touch it. If it is a moral decision then the decision which I value to be the best is the one I pick. There are probably an infinite number of other situations which require saying more but you'll understand if I don't for the whole "infinite" thing.

Interesting experiment. I'm surprised most even got to that high of a voltage before quitting.
