Free choice?

Free choice
In the SD
peace,
I wanted to ask how free choice is compatible with our thoughts being deterministic?
For example, when I think about something, the brain associatively links it to a new topic, after which I think about something else, and so on and so forth.
So it can be described as a kind of long wheel of thought, related to the power of imagination.
But the thing is, all of these thoughts are actually deterministic.
Likewise, when we think about something, we can always think of a reason that preceded it. For example, an association or something, not something without a reason at all…

First you need to distinguish between thoughts and values. According to many perceptions, thoughts are forced upon us (by truth). For example, Leibowitz believed this. According to him, this has nothing to do with free choice, which deals with value decisions and not with truth. I also don't agree that thoughts are forced upon us. Indeed, the order of thinking has an associative effect, but what is important is the content of the thoughts, not their order. Nor is the order of thoughts necessarily forced upon us. Just because we have associations doesn't mean that they alone determine what we will think and about what we will think. See column 175.
