I don't know what you mean by "state of affairs". I've said that the physical state of the Universe does not compel me to behave as I do (although it obviously heavily influences).

So what else? My psychological state? But ones psychological state is partly influenced by ones self. So you would have to say that I am not free because my self dictates what I do. But the self dictating ones actions is precisely what is meant by free will. So your position is absurd.
