free will.

Does a chimpanzee in a cage have free will? Yes, it can choose whether to eat the banana or drink the water in the cage but it can’t choose to leave.

It feels like in our discussions around free will we talk a lot about whether we can make a choice but not the spectrum of choices offered to us.

Would it be more helpful to talk about what we’re allowed to choose more than whether we can or not?
