First off, Sam Harris and Lex Fridman have to be two of the greatest minds in the world. What I can't understand about freewill---in the sense if it wasn't me who decided to use a drawing by Raphael as the backdrop of my next painting, then who was it? Sam, I treasure and examine with scrutiny every phrase, every word you say, but if it wasn't me who decided to paint my next painting in a certain way, with certain influences, then who in the world was it? Excuse me for coming off as naïve, but wasn't it me who got the inspiration, and then found the Raphael drawing, photographed it, printed it, and finally drew it on a canvas? Both of you are miles ahead of most of us in the cerebral sense, but how can their not be free will?
