It’s scientifically impossible to prove free will exists, so it’s difficult to accurately interpret what it means to “deliberately think of ideas.”
Sometimes I’ll make a joke or have a thought and I can’t tell if I’ve heard it somewhere else before, or if it was an original idea. I used to stress out about not knowing things like that, but I’ve learned that as long as I’m honest with myself I don’t really have to worry.
In a certain sense nothing “new” exists. Everything you think of is already in the past because it has been observed. You don’t know what thought is going to jump into your head next, but I think that with practice you can sort of “train” yourself to be more receptive of different ideas/thoughts.
Stay curious, honest, and believe in yourself. Consciousness is weird, but it allows you to do cool things like make pizza and play games with friends.
