I don't have anything to say about the debate of free will vs determinism, but I particularly dislike your style of reasoning. Most people do this within topics of politics and economics, which conveniently allows them to allow their confirmation bias without putting themselves in the other person's shoes to understand where they disagree. Instead they'd rather go with the prejudiced "oh they must be that kind of (stereotyped) person."

My style of reasoning is how it came to be by all the events I've lived in life. A lot of unfavorable events, unfortunate circumstances and with its happy moments. I could try to do mental gymnastics to produce something more desirable for "you" but I prefer to simplify my observation into what I wrote. I don't really see any substance other than from your ego in your reply.
