You probably don't have free will in any metaphysical sense, but who cares? Your brain will continue to function just as if you did have free will. Because who is you, other than your brain's choice-making and -monitoring processes? In other words, adding a metaphysical "Abracadabra!" doesn't really change anything to what is actually happening. It adds nothing. You are complete as-is.
The true worry is not whether we have free will, but whether our natural will is optimal. And the troubling thing is that it certainly is not. But it is optimizing, at least. We are a sweet wine that is ages well.
