But we don't make our final decision independently of our prior knowledge, or experience, or state of affairs. Our final decision is always caused by our prior knowledge, or experience, or state of affairs, and therefore there is no free will involved.

Is that what is meant by free will? Making our final decision?
I'd have thought it was choosing between ways for outcomes. Not whether your decision is correct or final but able to recognise choices and free to make a choice.

As long as we believe what we are going to do is good for us we do it (almost) automatically That is how we are programmed to perform our life. We go about our daily life in the same way a robot performs as it has been programmed. We are hard-wired to choose what is good and avoid what is bad for us; not right or wrong. We must internalise the notion of right (ethical) or wrong (unethical) first before it becomes part of what we consider good or bad for us.
