This is not something I have seen in the actual science itself about free will. It does show that in many ways free will is not what we think it is. That in some ways it could be called free wont and not free will. However, it is there in the very existence of self-control and regulation of our behavior and cognitive behavior therapy which works on internal mindsets. However, there are absolutists in the free will debate which wish to ignore that "free will or wont" is an upgraded or a downloaded add on to an already formed older physiology.
One could argue not all of our choices are the completely conscious ones and that a lot is subconscious. It also is in addition true that not all of our decisions are like cold-calculating rational mathematical tools or anything. We often will make decisions based on a hybrid of reasons, but, we can chose to act or not on the desires we have come to our mind. We can divert our attention to one thing or another. We can distract ourselves or we can free wont or free will ones ideas. Even if simply by not acting in one way or another. Self-regulation does exist and that very well could be just another word for a scientific free will.
I am not arguing that evolutionary psychology is not real. Not at all self-regulation is a new module added to all the old modules evolution already developed in our brains. Self-regulation, reason and self-control, thought control and self-actualization is all biological processes. They are physiological and materialistic process in our brains. That which we call our mind is the content of our brain. Both that which is rational and reasonable. As well as that which is irrational or unreasonable. Our emotional whims and our other evolved functions are all just that an evolved process. An evolved motor in between our ears and behind our eyes.
There is only physiology/neuronetworks and brain chemistry that is correct, but, that is not same as having no self nor having no ability of will. Our self is all that our brain is both the negative and the positive. Both the good and the bad. Our brain both the subconscious, conscious, reasonable and most insane is our mind, our self and our individual "I," and our self. Both free will/free wont/self-regulation and biological/evolutionary/physiological determinism is true. The answer to this debate is compatibility. Other words the viewpoint known as "compatibilism." Which acknowledges the truth of both biology, our evolved natures and also our ability to regulate/mindset and free will. Removing the truth of self-regulation is very dangerous to a civilized society and to dealing with mental issues.
