Free will conditions for a person:

I can understand the system, predict how it shapes me, regulate my response, and sometimes alter its constraints

But all of that occurs via biological processes. Our brains react to the stimuli they receive.

I believe it is important for us to consider our choices. I do not believe in free will.
