You can ask a question about free will freely in the first place. 

If free will did not exist then your question had essential no meaning because it's just pre determined biological processes causing sound to come out of your vocal cords. 

Again I am not sure I understand what you are saying (sorry).

Asking a question about free will doesn't make you free or proves free will. Because you don't know if you were determined to ask this question.

Simplest explanation wins? The chaotic universe we observe? Why wouldn't the sample principles apply to the animals on earth, some of which just happen to have big brains instead of claws?

I think that the "life on rails" argument is the one that needs hard proof, being farther from the simplest explanation.

We cannot apply Occam's razor in this case since it deals with empirical reality, and not with ontological question regarding God existence, who in turn may or may not give us free will.

Can you please provide 'hard proof' of free will?

Free will equates to the random chaotic universe, which is what we observe. So, the best "evidence" we've got points to the simplest explanation. Which is that they both exist in the same reality and abide by the same rules.

For me free will is the "default" explanation: the absence of a "designed" principle behind one's decision making. So, again, for me, the "on rails" is the one that needs hard proof.

In order to prove you have a choice you need to have a point in the future that has a concrete outcome, and then change it with your free choice.

Since you don't know the future, you cannot change it.

Sorry mate but that does not compute with me, your getting all technical. Im not talking about certain outcome or decision making. I have a choice to go to work in 30min or call in sick, my choice to be moody at work or be happy etc. Even if someone fucks it up for me and makes my work harder, its still my choice whether I let it effect me or not.

Leader of the Free World has gone proper mentalist with his latest tweets.

Just because he doesnt drink, doesnt mean he doesnt do few tabs of acid or chows down on some mushrooms in a mescaline sandwich now and again

We will never learn though we have seen this movie so so many times. We are gullible and incredibly easy to manipulate.

Could agree more in essence, but strongly disagree with "Shouldnt mock really"

Just thought perhaps he is really mentally ill  - was thinking if it was a black bloke acting like that they would have sectioned him, injected, whisked away by men in white coats

BTW here in Denmark folks are furious with Mette Frederikson and that cuntbag Magnusson. Both traitors, Mette has done many illigal shit under covid. Magnusson went and sucked Bille Gates off as soon as he became the health minister.
