I’m actually the opposite, I don’t think we have free will, but I also don’t think that things are largely pre determined. I think our choices are a function of context + how we learned to deal with past experiences and that’s it. But at the same time our choices do affect the outcomes of a lot of things.

I guess if you believe this, a good way to live is to be able to teach yourselves to handle any situation as well as maximize your choices.
