I don't understand why these are your two options. Either free will only requires a
human brain and the state of the rest of the universe is irrelevant, OR free will thwarts fate and the willer is irrelevant? Those are barely related. In fact, you could combine them into one person and eliminate the "or" of your conjecture. If you're presenting an either/or, don't the two have to be mutually exclusive? Either free will can ONLY come from a human brain or it's not "free will"? Either fate is predetermined and nothing has free will or There Is No Fate But What We Make? I'm confused about what you're trying to say.
