You can spontaneously decide to do something entirely unpredictable whenever you wish.

No. You have the phenomenal experience of spontaneous decision making (and it's important), but underneath that experience are the causal brain mechanisms that are not in your "control". The short of it is -- the experience of will comes with your actions sometimes, but you do not will your actions.
