True true what philosophers do you feel you agree the most with?

I don’t know any philosophers really. It is not something I have studied. I find the concept of free will or the lack there of interesting though and determinism.
True a lot of thinkers have struggled with it over the years, even in Theological philosophy there has been debate over the extent to which people have free will. There are clearly some things that are deterministic (if you over drink you WILL get drunk) and yet there seems to be a choice we make of whether we drink or not. The question then becomes, if I’m not going to drink then what am I going to do to keep myself from being upset that I’m not drinking? It’s deterministic! I have to in order to be “happy”, which I naturally desire. The question then is, what is better than wine? And the answer I think is seeking the truth because as “thinking creatures” it’s the one thing we can make our primary “go to” without any negative consequences.
