Free will is not an illusion simply because human beings are subject to the laws of physics. Everything, including these discussions, including threats of punishment, including actual consequences inevitable or merely imposed by society, shapes our wills, by and through which we are free to act so long as the boundaries of a 'self'---however defined---are not coerced into action contrary to the will.
