Freedom of Will

What I think is that "free will" is an illusion of people who don't know how the food in their refrigerators was planted, cultivated, harvested, sold, packaged, transported, and displayed at the supermarket. Life is way too complicated to be helpfully diagnosed with either the terms "free will" or "determinism" or, it seems to me, any combination of those terms. We are certainly involved in the work we do. I can't think of any coherent way to deny that. It's just that analyzing an act and picking out the pristine, lonely, individual act of freedom will be done only at the cost of the life and breath of the act itself.
