>Drop one person into the same situation a million times and they will always make the same decisions, because all of their future actions are based on what has happened to them before.
>In this process of learning and choosing it doesn't really seem like we have much control over any of it
how is it learning if youre consciously making the same mistake time and again while blaming 'fate'.

I'm saying if you take someone at one moment in time, and have them repeat situation a million times in that brainstate and reset it every time, they will always consistently make that same decision. Obviously if they were in the same situation twice they might do something differently, but again them learning from their experience and choosing certain has nothing to do with their own freedom, rather the chaos of the world around them acting upon them.

this is why we reincarnate and forget out past lives but our soul keeps a record.

however, going back to your 'hypothetical' situation, youre just saying what you want it to be. its as random as flipping a coin yet youre supposing its gonna be face every time.

If you asked someone to pick between driving a red car and a blue car, and they liked red, they would always chose the red car. The reason they prefer red isn't something they chose, it's something that the circumstances around them lead them to preferring. 
This idea can be applied to literally any decision, though it may be more complicated. No decision anyone makes has anything to do with randomness. 
But even if it did, why would it being random have anything to do with freedom? Having our decisions be random is almost more depressing than having them be predetermined.

you make situations and then try to make me make choices in them when reality is: your situation is fake and i dont have to make a choice of what youre offering when there more to it

I'm not forcing you to participate in anything. I'm just saying that in any situation you find yourself in you will make an informed decision based upon what you know about the world you live in. The information you have depends on where you come from and what you have experienced, which ultimately you have no control over.
