I do enjoy these perspectives. However, I prefer the perspective in which free will is something like intention or the ability to choose. Sure, many or most of the choices we think we make in our day-to-day lives are actually manufactured consent, or simple routine, or otherwise predictable behavior, but the illusory nature of our options does not mean our ability to decide is itself illusory.
I guess it's the "free" part that could be considered illusory, not the "will" part.
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing.
