I find “free will” to be an anti-useful concept. You can remove it from your vocabulary and you’ll never miss it. “Free will”, besides being confusing with its varying definitions and historical/religious baggage, pushes us to ask the wrong questions and focus on the wrong things. When someone else uses the concept in conversation/dialogue, ask what they mean by “free will” or why free will matters in the context.

Yep! That’s why I’m trying to explain choice-making without this “free will” concept.
