On the other hand, @SamHarrisOrg's perspective robs us if free will without physical determinism. If some version of the question is worth sleeplessness, that's the one.https://twitter.com/seanonolennon/status/971223011087990784 …

What determines your intentions?
-
Intentions are determined by the regulation architecture that gets entrained into our nervous system by our motivational rewards and the models we form.

Right. And so does this lead you to conclude that we have some, but not completely, free will? And if so in what proportion is it free? Or put differently, how large is the role of random offset?

The randomness is irrelevant because we are not responsible for it; it manifests as confusion, tremors and tics. We must be concerned about the deterministic part that is not accountable to our purposes. The opposite of free will is compulsion.
