Yes but it's a cheap cop-out.
I spend years thinking it was silly but maybe there was something in it. I kept listening to Daniel Dennett's arguments...
Then he gave a lecture where he said that free will is like money -- it is man-made and people should just agree that it exists.
He's basically admitting it doesn't exist and he thinks we're better off pretending it does. Free will is not like money... either we have it or we don't.
We don't. Compatabilism is silly.
