We do things for reasons. This morning I got a call to say that my car, in for servicing, is ready for collection. I will collect it this afternoon. Am I “free” not to? “Could I” decide otherwise? What does the question mean? I want the car back, for obvious reasons, and this afternoon is the first good time to go — also for reasons. Of course I’m going to collect it then. Nonetheless, it was still me that decided to do that, and that will do that later today. The thoughts that led to that conclusion were mine. The sage is not above causation, nor subject to causation, but one with causation.
