Except that the brain is not predictable at all, this is one of the first things you would know. You can say the definition of free will is not "consistent", but my problem is deeper and more reasonable: People just assume for no reason they can talk about free will, while they can't talk about conscience. As free will is a property of being conscious, people should shut up about free will before they can explain both causally and ontologically the consciousness phenomena. But I'm afraid they will not.
