How much Free Will do we have?

A brief look into how people can be unconsciously manipulated. ▲Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WILearned ▲Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeverettlearned ( Bitcoin Donations: 1G8K61AS6bytBUcqNzzag7xuo6XJ6SCU7J ) This is meant to be a bit of a prequel to a second video I will be doing on the topic of free will. The point of this is not to find ways to excuse people's behavior, but to examine the ways people can be unconsciously manipulated - leading to the bigger question: Are all our actions the result of being unconsciously manipulated by how our brain operates?

In case you haven't run across this study "Predicting free choices for abstract intentions" by Chun Siong Soona, Anna Hanxi Heb, Stefan Bodeb, and John-Dylan Haynes using fMRI showed that they can predict 4 seconds before when a person will make a decision and whether the decision will be to add or subtract two numbers. So that implies we have no free will but have the illusion of free will such that after we "do" something the mind comes along and creates a story that the "me" decided to do whatever happened spontaneously as a result of our genetics and prior conditioning.
