So why are you telling me this? Because it seems to me we both already agree on this :D
BTW I don’t believe in free will based on assumption of materialism, but also because of what we observe. And such framework is not even imaginable, maybe if it was imaginable, but still unprovable—I would be less skeptical. But yes ultimately I don’t know for sure! Which doesn’t help at all to feel less depressed… There are worse things you don’t want to know...
And it seems there are always trade-offs. Like savants can calculate what day it will be 2000 years from now in an instant (and they don’t know how they come to that conclusion) but they can’t even order hotdog, after a savant learned how to do that, his ability diminished!!!
Also people decide at the end always based on emotions as I posted link in this post—I believe from bigthink, so even people with high IQ can make stupid decisions! As rationality is affected by emotions and decisions are ultimately emotional! Also from my other post—imagination seems to play role in rationality. E.g. I have aphantasia (no minds eye, aka no visual imagination) that may also explain why I Am so logical & rational...
Because once we exhaust what we can know about a concept, what else is left? I cite: “imagination is more important than knowledge”—Einstein. And (I believe I mentioned this) it is scary that no one can even imagine how FW would exist! As how would one choose his own preferences, before he was born??? https://www.informationphilosopher.com/freedom/origination.html I cite: “A man can do what he wants, but cannot will what he wants”—Einstein There is currently no way to solve this problem!

https://qz.com/627989/why-are-so-many-smart-people-such-idiots-about-philosophy/ High IQ is only part of a intelligence, sure IQ is highly correlated to academic success and it is important, but it is only part of a story! Intelligence is immensely complex term, we don’t have even a full definition, or understand what it exactly means...

Even smart people are susceptible to biases: https://evolutionnews.org/2017/06/smart-people-are-less-able-to-detect-their-own-bias-evolutionary-psychologist/
It is good to listen to heavy critics constantly and constantly questions your opinions, admittedly still difficult!
PS: People are talented very diversely in different things!
Why are you trying to imagine how FW works, instead of looking for the best model in the literature.

People can imagine how free will can exist
