I keep coming back to this one. You can argue about free will forever in the abstract and get nowhere. Then something is actually at stake and the question answers itself. You see exactly what you'll choose, and so does everyone watching.
That's also why most people fold under stress. It's not that they're weak. It's that they never chose the thing pressing on them. Stress you didn't pick crushes you. Stress you walked into on purpose is just the weight of a decision you already own.
So I've stopped trying to dodge the hard version. The choosing is the whole thing. Pick your difficulty and the pressure stops being something happening to you and starts being something you're carrying. That's where the free part actually lives.
