I believe in some limited form of free will because I perceive myself to have it. If the universe is deterministic (and it may very well be), it's a machine operating on such an immense scale that I can't track but the tiniest fraction of causative events to their own causative events, nor can I influence the vast majority of the effects, so it doesn't make a practical difference to my perception either way. I'm just one tiny fish in a tremendous ocean. I'll only make so many ripples and only observe so many.
