I don't understand the whole "free will is an illusion" thing. To me it seems obvious; I clearly do have free will because I choose to do things on my own volition. And the "me" who does the choosing is made up of largely deterministic electrochemical processes which respond to stimuli, with a bunch of feedback loops and other complexity. That is all my consciousness is, after all. I don't even know what it would mean for free will to be an "illusion".
