Here's the question: why is it that people "realize" that free will is an illusion, and yet continue to act willfully? Your answer is that the chain of events behind the person's actions inevitably arrive at that willful action-- even though they know they aren't really capable of willful action. But that's kind of like realizing the emperor has no new clothes, and that YOU are the clothes. Tongue
