  1. Some occasional fasts of 3-4 days are great for stress. No more waking up at 4am from nightmares for me.

  2. As far as free will goes, free will is kind of a nonsense concept. A deterministic algorithm is still making decisions. Your brain also still makes decisions. That doesn't mean you don't have free will just because you can't magically completely change your situation. It just means you have limited decisions to make. Even if you are some dictator of a powerful nation that is going to be the case, Stalin and Hitler can't choose to live forever or float up to the moon on a magic carpet because those things are not possible for them.
