One formulation of the incoherency about free will is that physical laws are descriptive rather than normative. If the physics would suddenly behave diffrently (false vacuums or anything previously undiscovered) it’s the law in error and there is no blaming the matter as being “naughty”. In the same way when you are deciding how to act the law itself isn’t working as a cause in it. They are not human laws. Your freedom is not reduced by any obression.
from wikipedia: “Determinists generally agree that human actions affect the future but that human action is itself determined by a causal chain of prior events. Their view does not accentuate a “submission” to fate or destiny, whereas fatalists stress an acceptance of future events as inevitable.”
You have stated a reason to be a determinist but I have not seen the argument for “submission”. EIther you need to explicitly state the remaining hidden beliefs that are part of the reasoning or you are plain wrong about the implications fo what you have come to accept.
One reading suggest that you believe that what will happen somehow determines or dictates what happens to you now. Future determining the past is forbidden outside of closed timelike loops. It is not also the case that you could modify the present and keep the same future.
One way is also thinking it that you will only make 1 choice: whatever you choose to do will be what you chose to do. It’s not allowed to make 0 or multiple choices. 0 would mean the universe ends there. Multiple choices would mean the past correlates with multiple futures making factors other than what you chose determine which outcome happens. In neither case you would feel any freer. Hence you must narrow down, “determine”, what your choice is.
