Unconscious processes just like conscious ones happen for a reason, in which case they are deterministic, or they happen for no reason, in which case they are random. How the noise "free will" produced in the oral cavity of some members of a species called Homo sapiens is supposed to fit into all this I have no idea. I've long since given up on figuring out if people have "free will" or not and now have a more modest goal, I just want to know what the hell the term means; and nobody can tell me.
