Free will is an illusion and doesn't actually exist, so yes I definitely would.

I would trade a life for good memes.

Defining the good life was a subject of major debate among ancient philosophers. The answer I find most appealing comes from the Stoics who defined the good life not as one with wealth, health, or any other external or emotional state.

"The happy life depends upon this and this alone: our attainment of perfect reason" - Seneca. The good life can only be obtained by the exercise of reason in free thought. Without this freedom the good life would be forever out of reach.

I've refused to trade my pride and my self-respect for "a good life," and free will is infinitely more valuable. My answer is no.

Maybe. I'm currently a student living with my parents and I have a pretty comfy life. Realistically my free will is limited because I can't really just quit school, move to another country or join a circus. Well theoretically I can, in the sense that I can also jump under a train tommorow, it's just not realistic. I'm sort of locked in to the student lifestyle and I'm really enjoying it. I honestly don't think I would mind if this was my life and I couldn't really change it. School is easy, I have tons of free time to be on my pc, go out drinking and do pretty much whatever I want (only limited by the size of my monthly allowance and some money from my summer job). This is my final year of school which means I will exercise my true free will from now on. I'm responsible for my actions, I have the freedom to make all of my choices. I don't want to say it terrifies me, but that is the first word that popped into my head so... I still have no answer to the question though.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. - Jean Paul Sartre
