This man’s modus ponens is definitely my modus tollens. It seems super cursed to use moral premises to answer metaphysics problems. In this argument, except for step 8, you can replace belief in free will with anything, and the argument says that determinism implies that any widely held belief is true.
“Ought implies can” should be something that’s true by construction of your moral system, rather than something you can just assert about an arbitrary moral system and use to derive absurd conclusions.
I suspect that “ought implies can” comes from legal/compatibilist thinking, ie. you can do something if it is generally within your powers, and you are not being actively compelled to do otherwise.

Yes I agree to be clear.
