I sometimes find myself thinking "is there a short Nietzschean answer to this" about several things. I think he said there was no freedom of will because it was created as a reactive device to one's actions. There is a line between awareness and consciousness. If freedom of will is used a posteriori - to explain why the "noble" did "bad things", according to the "slave", then it is reactive. This is consciousness, as opposed to awareness.
