“There—now my sensation of freedom indicates something coherent; and most of the time, I will have no reason to doubt the sensation’s veracity. I have no problems about saying that I have “free will” appropriately defined; so long as I am out of jail, uncertain of my own future decision, and living in a lawful universe that gave me emotions and morals whose interaction determines my choices.”
If “most of the time, [you] will have no reason to doubt the sensation’s veracity”, then I encourage you to read more neuroscience. Most of the time, you should have plenty of reason to doubt the veracity of your sensations, including regarding “free will”.
I think this post largely argues against strawmen- there are better arguments for you to address right in the comments of your recent blog posts.
I’d posit that you keep returning to the saving-the-orphan example as a bias-seeking way to support your argument, rather than as a bias-overcoming approach, for reasons I already explained a couple times in the comment sections of your recent posts.
