Nothing.
Even Best Answer can not be chosen purely on own will.... it needs to have a bearing on the quality of the answer chosen.

No choices are truly free. They all bare repercussions. We all must take responsibility for them. We make the best decisions with the facts we are given, the knowledge that we have, and the laws and privileges and protections that permit and restrict behavior. Between law (thievery is illegal), physics (gravity prevents us from floating on air), biology (my heart will beat at a specific rate despite my will), so on, other social and financial and whatever else limitations... not everything we will can be achieved. To operate on faith is freer than to operate in the rigidity of reason and logic. To allow faith to govern you is freer than to be controlled by what you believe about scientific possibility. Or social allowance, for that matter. Making some decisions might be possible, but they might also be stupid. The best decision is only one decision, so is choice and a full understanding of reality contradictory?
Free will is the capacity to make whatever decisions you wish, which are both possible and permissible, given the set of circumstances and the knowledge you possess, aimed at achieving an outcome you would like to see unfold.

Free will means not to believe in destiny. That the decisions and physical choices a person makes are solely of their own accord, executed without any controlling, dominating existential influences.
Just because this is what I say it means to me doesn't mean I believe it is possible to do.
