The idea that Anisha brings forth about the algorithmic process preventing free will is one that does not sit well with me. If an individual knows that there is a set pattern of actions, thinking, etc then he/she has the power to change it if they choose to- its that simple. In some cases, I feel as though we are undermining the power of our free will. I think we are all familiar with the quote in which Randy Paush essentially says that the brick walls are there to see how badly we want something. The amount of free will that we put forth definitely has the possibilty of changing something that may originally be classified as unchangable. People, animals, among other factors all have the ability to change, even in a subtle or minute way, the course of something that thought of as "set".
