Good Intentions Versus Good Addictions

My soul doesn't just grab the steering wheel of my body and stomp on the gas.

I do believe in Free Will. Even if Determinism should one day be scientifically proven by quantum theory, we will still have to pretend that we have Free Will to function. So the whole Free Will Versus Determinism debate is dead to me. I don't care, because I have to act as though I have Free Will anyway.

But I have whims that over time become habits. Some of my habits seem to lock me into a cage of inevitability.

Repetitive pleasures take on the nature of addictions. Unconscious compulsions push me, lead me, bully me.

IMHO whatever Free Will I have is best employed in seducing my habits, misleading my compulsions, and kicking my addictions in the ass. @hg47
