The larger question isn’t if we feel or not. One of the questions is: is our “window” into consciousness occurring before or after decisions are made.

If it’s before, then you can easily tie consciousness and free will together. If not, we are effectively watching videos of our bodies operate. Oh - and there is no spoon.
