I am a fan of the idea that a person does not have free will, or at least it is very limited by genetics, internal biochemical processes, external events, which intertwine, create a network and matrix for human behavior.

Don't confuse free will with omnipotence. It's simply the ability to exercise choice without reference to an external body. The dimensionality of your choice may be limited by all sorts of things but as long as you have any choice at all, you have free will.

It turns out that humans are preconditioned to believe that we have freewill.

.B No/t really, but/t I am responsible for my choices/actions/self.
Well, who/what else, is there, to blame.

We all have free will till we push it too far and end up in prison and that's where free will is largely reduced. Thankfully.
