I dunno, I do take your argument about our feelings on the matter not necessarily being a useful guide.

Then again, deterministic actions (which is an assumption) in our brains do not necessarily correlate with a completely deterministic human. Perhaps the computation of such quantities as may be involved is impossible, and this would lead to a situation where even a completely deterministic universe could be compatible with the experience of "free will".

We probably need a better term for this sensation, as "free will" is a particularly loaded term.
