What makes a human?l

nature and nurture. we are all wired differently. Everyone's brain differs from everyone else's from the moment of birth, and these differences grow as the final shaping of our bodies and brains is done outside the womb and incorporates our individual experiences in the world.

I ask this follow up question…do we really have as much control as we think we do?

no. you can make choices, but the decision and your judgement are based on past experiences and how you are wired.

people misunderstand the "free will" argument. which choice you make is determined by a lot of calculations that are done behind the scenes.
