The short argument against free will:

1. Thoughts determine our actions. (If you don't think about an action before you do it, it's an unconscious reflex).

2. We can't control our thoughts. (Try meditating and stopping your thoughts. You'll realize you can't do it.)

3.Therefore, "we" cannot control our actions. (I have yet to find a good definition of the "self").

4. Therefore, free will is an illusion.

I'm looking to elaborate on this short argument once I understand the nature of the "self" better. Obviously, decisions are made by "selves", but what is the "self"?
