Well, the short answer is that turtles all the way down is unscientific. If we cannot falsify determinism because determinism predicts that anything that looks like free will is itself determinism, you basically have two options: either you amputate the excess repetitions with Occam's razor and make the theory falsifiable or you abandon the question as a scientific one altogether.

It’s not a scientific question, but a philosophical one.
