But don't people have REASON for "choosing" to believe a thing? Don't the reasons account for their behavior versus some non-distinct individual thing making arbitrary choices?
You have some information about a situation and you "choose" by comparing the situation to your internal value system. You do not randomly select something. You have reason. Where is will in this equation? Can will only enter into the equation if you act in something of an irrational fashion? Wouldn't you have a reason for acting that way too?
In the end, there is basis for our behavior that can be found in our environment and in our state of mind. We behave in response to our environments. Will is an illusion.
