I have spent some time observing people and myself.
I have found that whenever I look deeply into peoples lives and their history, their state of being always makes perfect sense in light of the informational input received from that history (with the exception of genuine psychopathy)

As and example, the two people who are closest to me, appear to be in possession of the most outstanding self control I have ever encountered. In both of them, that level of what appears to be free will or self determinism was instilled in them through fear, and it was done deliberately.
I am still not buying into free will, but I am open to persuasion
