This means neither random nor completely determined externally.
We are not merely followers of the laws of nature, we also create them, modify them, revolutionize them. Our intentionality even varies, from non-existent reflex to near libertarian control over aspects of our bodies and mind. Are your opinions on free will robotic or random? In either case, would there be any point in anyone else paying attention to them, what with their own robotic or random 'opinions'? We have gone around this enough times to know that you aren't going to change your view, I just find it striking that you don't see that the logic of this arbitrary assertion which you keep repeating is blind and circular.
