I do t feel the same way a lot of people do. I’m extremely aware of how a great many of my decisions are in no sense freely made- right down to why I buy orange juice and pick orange juice given a range of selections.
If a person told me that they freely willed their orange juice, I’d think ..well…that makes one of us.
I don’t personally think that the evidence we have suggests, implies, or proves a fatalistic universe..but it does seem to strongly suggest a deterministic one., at least at our level of interaction.
Meanwhile, the alternative of an uncaused universe excludes free will ( or any subset of self cause) by default.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
