Free will remains a personal, subjective, philosophic, and theological question that empirical science cannot answer by itself
Human evolution and neuroscience offer encouragement about our individual capacities to improve our lives. Especially when we are emotionally overwhelmed, our feelings and thoughts can feel as if they must be hardwired into our brains. We seem to be at the mercy of our emotions.
At times, our demoralizing, self-defeating inhibitory emotions seem to keep coming at us no matter what we do. This might lead us to think of the brain as a tangle of cement and wire, when, in fact, it is an organ as subtle and complex as our own identities.
