- Do we have free will or not?
If you mean freedom to choose, then yeah, but limited. You can't fly like Superman.Plus, the past is fixed and it leads to the future, so there's only one future if you think about it.
If you mean control of your thoughts, then same answer. Touch a hot stove sometime.
- Why do philosophers have to make everything so complicated?
Ego and necessity. Some think too much of themselves. Some need tenure. But, mostly, that's what a philosopher does - question, explore, imagine. Think of philosophy as mental anthropology.
