But that says nothing. It doesn't speak to will at all. It simply says that you have the ability to select a behavior based on your current state of being and inputs (sensory/chemical/etc). It doesn't speak to how that selection process is carried out or what agents are involved in it.
Well that's kinda what I mean. No matter how much 'free will' you have, you're not gonna be able to fly just because you want it.

We are given certain choices, and all we can do is choose.
