Every day you resist urges, and it's the establishment of freewill that put you on a path.

Also, fundamentally they're wrong. People acquire knowledge. They learn freewill is possible. Many attempt it in everyday life.

Therefore, freewill is its own deterministic event, and in being concrete it breaks the loop of determinism despite the belief it's all determinism. Basically determinism confounds itself by allowing freewill to be entertained in deterministic beings - oops.

People throw out guesses, hunches, preferences, and numerous freewill events because freewill was repeatedly mentioned.
