Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will (Kevin Mitchell, 2023)
"If traits like extraversion and neuroticism really reflected some singular factor in the brain (such as “positive emotionality” or “negative emotionality,” for instance), one might expect to find some brain measure that consistently correlates with them—
say, a bigger amygdala or higher levels of serotonin or more dopaminergic connections with the striatum, or really an infinite range of other possibilities.
Researchers have looked for many years for these kinds of correlates and effectively come up empty.
There are reports of positive correlations but none has been robustly replicated.
A reasonable conclusion, at some point, is that a trait like extraversion is not in fact a singular “thing in the brain.”
Rather, it is a construct reflecting multiple neural parameters.
We already encountered in our discussion of the circuits controlling decision making and action selection what some of these parameters could be.
An animal navigating through its environment has to monitor its own internal state to generate motivations; assess opportunities and threats;
anticipate rewards and punishments; weigh multiple, often conflicting short- and long-term goals against each other;
assess the reliability of different kinds of perceptual evidence; attach some measure of certainty to its various beliefs;
weigh the confidence level required to act versus the urgency for action;
consider how much effort it is willing to expend or how long it is willing to wait or how much risk it is willing to accept for a given reward of a given probability; and so on. (…)
That means that the tunings of factors like reward sensitivity, threat sensitivity, novelty salience, confidence thresholds, delay discounting (how long you are willing to wait for a reward), and risk aversion naturally—innately—vary among people.
Those kinds of parameters are things we do “find in the brain,” in the sense that neuroscientists have identified at least some of the circuits that seem to mediate these different signals and feed into the processes of belief formation, goal prioritization, and action selection.
Indeed, new technologies in animals are allowing researchers to observe these separable functions and to correlate levels of activity in specific circuits with, say, confidence levels, assessed threat levels, or anticipated reward;
scientists are even able to experimentally tweak the tuning of these parameters to alter decision making and behavior in real time."

Five Free Agents That League Two Clubs Should Sign - Opinion
There are roughly two weeks left of the summer transfer window and bizarrely there are still several free agents that remain without a club, despite the EFL season being almost three weeks old.  Therefore, I have taken the liberties of researching and picking out five players that clubs in League Two should be queueing up to sign, before they are snapped up by a rival side. It is also important…

Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will (Kevin Mitchell, 2023)
"Any information that leads you to prioritize one action over others is, in fact, a constraint—a useful one but still one that reduces your options for action.
And if you’re interpreting such information in the context of your memories and knowledge and understanding of the world and your motivations and goals, then those form another set of constraints—internal ones—that guide your behavior toward some purpose.
To be free of such constraints would be to act randomly, pointlessly, on a whim, for no reason.
You would, in fact, cease to be yourself; indeed, you would cease to be a self at all.
Selfhood is defined by continuity through time—by maintaining a certain dynamic pattern of processes in the face of the thermodynamic pressure to take on any of the other, almost infinite sets of disordered arrangements those processes could adopt.
Selfhood thus entails constraint. It is only constraint.
The freedom to be you involves constraining the elements that make you up from becoming not you.
In humans, this activity includes maintaining the continuity of our psychological, biographical selves: all the memories and experiences and relationships; all the learnings, the habits and heuristics and policies; the commitments and projects and long-term goals; and all the dispositions that go with them.
It means using the hard-won knowledge accumulated by your past self to guide action in the present moment in the service of your future self.
If you’re not doing that, you’re not doing you.
For these reasons, I take the absolutist definition of freedom to be incoherent in the context of the question whether we have free will.
If you take “free” to mean absolutely free from any prior causes whatsoever, then you can have “free” or you can have “we,” but not both."
