It seems like I have free will because I am mistaken? I'm afraid that's not a reason. You say "our mind has to but[sic] labels and boundaries on things...", but you don't explain either why there is mind at all, why it has to put labels on things, and why part of this putting labels on things involves convincing me that there's a me. In fact, if there is no me, there's no me for the mind to convince that I'm me. And that's just contradictory.
Harry -- yes, "if you mean more of why do you seem to have conciousness and freewill, well, that's more indepth than i've ever thought about it." -- that's precisely my question.
