    If free will is an "illusion" by whatever standard is used to determine that, then free will doesn't functionally exist anywhere that we know of outside of that "illusion" anyway, which means the concept is meaningless, even in a negative, at that point. It's like telling people they aren't unicorns while no unicorns are around to even compare their not-unicornness to.
