Free Will

 From the moment we are born we are contingent on the exterior world for survival. Our bodies react to the outside world involuntarily.

For example, the sight, smell, and taste of food initiate long reflexes that begin with a sensory neuron delivering a signal to the medulla oblongata. The response to the signal is to stimulate cells in the stomach to begin secreting digestive juices in preparation for incoming food.
