Anyway just to clarify : all bodies that contain lifeforms that have awareness that makes choices and have aims are totally dependent upon electrical stimulus / neurons for their motivations. Therefore despite the ability to have aims and make choices those lifeforms are nevertheless under the constraints of those impulses
But are these physical constraints actually greater than the moral constraints that affect our free will decisions ?
I think not for free will is ultimately about choices and especially moral choices rather than the firing of neurons
"moral constraint's" don't directly act on humans there are no moral constraints out in the world, so something in humans must be impacted by sensory stimuli, construct moral evaluations and I'd suggest it's the material structure of neurons that does that, "makes decisions" and acts on them.
If one conluded that this all electrical activity between networks of neurons one might ponder whether "moral constraints" or signals in brains" are driving decision making.
