For 'free will', I think I can make a pretty good case because of the legal understanding of it.
I'm not sure I buy that. Legally, we assume free will when determining punishment for a crime committed. But does that mean we actually have a choice outside our wiring and sthtu?
I think I said before, I think of it as more of a surprise. Everything beyond the quantum that is going to happen is going to happen. But all the interactions are so complex, that we can't know for sure in most cases what that outcome will be. So we have the illusion of choice, and we go merrily into whatever the causal history dictates to be the future. I'm OK with that (i.e. it doesn't make me say "what is the point"). I'm deriving pleasure from it while it lasts.
