I'd certainly prefer it to be the case that I have free will. However me having free will is neither not compatible with my current understanding of physics, nor is free will something that I've noticed having when I carefully consider my experiences.

Free will or not, I don't see how I can change my belief system in such a way to exclude the possibility that I'm a brain in a vat, so in that sense I don't see how I can ever 100% believe my experiences match reality short of attempting to tautologically define my experiences as what reality is.

Since you claim have free will, I'd be interested in how you experience the sensation of freely choosing a movie or song title and where exactly your free will comes into play within those sensations, and of how your sensations of the task differ from mine.
