No! A world without libertarian free will is a world exactly like this one.
ETA: Robin’s point, I gather, is that a world without libertarian free will is a world where hypnotism is possible. Which, as it turns out, is this world.
I was actually making a lesser point: that the introspective appearance of free will is not even a reliable indicator of the presence of free will, much less a reliable guide to the nature of free will.
Edit: From which your interpretation follows, I suppose.
