Right, it reflects your interests, reasons, experiences, personality etc. All things that you have no control over.
If you're not part of the causal chain, that means you're random. I mean, sure, but that doesn't give you free will.

Everything that makes you "you" comes from forces and conditions that you had no control over. You didn't decide to be born. You didn't decide to whom you born. You didn't decide to be male, to be a certain body type, have a certain level of intelligence, etc

Everything that makes you "you" comes from causal factors you had nothing to do with
Replying to
I like how both of you are basically saying the exact same thing but are acting like you're disagreeing.
Yes, what causes you to be "you" are all causal factors out of your control. But it's still "you" making the decisions; even if you're predetermined.

Everything makes "decisions". Ants decide to go this way instead of that. A deer decides to run instead of not. And, so on. There is no "you" inside the body that is controlling the operation. All "decisions" are determined by preceding causal factors.
