Response to Katie - full post here
Regardless of whether or not your thoughts are real, the universe is more likely deterministic. Additionally, given that you do not have power over your subconscious, if it is controlling you then you are not a subject of free will because you have no power to change what you think. Also, the very act of having made a decision doesn't meant that something has free will. The question, then, is what is causing your subconscious to deceive you as it does. If we can decided that it is a bunch of electric signals, which are governed by the universe, we can also decide that you do not have free will because the predetermined movement of electrons is what is causing you to act as you are.
