Does a collection of things which have some sort of free will then, as an aggregate, have that same property. Why would they? OFC, what exactly is free will free from in either case. Who knows. I don;t think that the concept is meaningful or descriptive in any sense.
How's the exact same thing I just said the converse?

Well, what does that mean? Take any high-order experience, say the experience of love. It doesn't exist anywhere without an agent to experience it. When we use the word, it's a label for a collection of qualia-- what it's like to be affected by certain hormones, brain function, etc. But while you can point to neural correlates, you can't really say any or all of them really ARE love.
