Compatabilist free will isn't an illusion because it's merely the will labeled as free will.
Incompatabilist free will isn't an illusion either because people don't actually experience that kind of freedom even when they think they do. That kind of freedom is logically incoherent. It's a delusion not an illusion.
With or without free will we still have choices and still have a will. Determinism doesn't equate to fatalism.
There is no paradox of free will.
Free will is simply false or a relabelling of normal human willpower merely because our wills are often uncoerced.
Compatabilist free will is trivally true and incompatabilist free will is completely erroneous.
