Free will / Free choice:

The "soul" ( a.k.a "ego", "I-ness", "centre of consciousness" ) already operated by choice.

As a result, nobody and nothing can accurately predict the future..

That put aside, the soul is addicted to pleasure, but may opt to avoid short term prioritisations of it.

Egos are often frail, and start as easily hurt:

  1. "Encourage criticism and try to get offended (and try to grow a thicker skin)"

Do note that the angels and the devils may limit the number of choices the soul can choose from (including down to one!). They can also deprive a hacker of a chance to concentrate, introspect and decide-what-to-do-next.

[The “inflated ego” myth] While I am, to large extents, self-centred, narcissistic, ego-maniacal, meglomaniacal, and also developed a relatively thick skin - my soul is still frail.
