I really struggled with reconciling my intuitive feeling of free will with determinism for a while. Finally, when I was about 18, my beliefs settled in (I think) exactly this way of thinking. My sister still doesn’t accept determinism. When we argue, I always emphasize: “Just because reality is deterministic, that doesn’t mean we stop choosing!”
