Oh I don't believe in "free will" or "agency" at all.

I do believe that in this Universe there's some things are impossible to predict - that there's sources of "pure randomness". And since we don't exactly know how our brain works, I think it possible that our brains might incorporate some of those unpredictable phenomena. Or not. But that is it. Once those initial theoretical random values "are set", our behavior is deterministic. Inconceivable intricate, almost certainly impossible to model or simulate, but deterministic.

But above you said that our form of consciousness is incompatible with determinism?
