Is free will real?

[Mudhammam]

Hard determinism is the conclusion that our descriptions of "free will" do not grok with the observations we've made about the world around us or ourselves, that free will, in short and in fact, is incompatible with those observations.

What about compatilbilism?

If you can explain a coherent version of compatibalism, I'm all ears. I've read Dennett, and despite his compelling sophistry, I don't think it withstands critical examination. It's determinism in everything but name. Just because causes become more complex doesn't negate their causation.
