I'm always willing to entertain an argument that endeavors to answer social science with actual science, which is what my skim of your post is suggesting. I also agree that 'free will' is a strange phrase, which is why I'm not a fan of this debate like I am of so many others in philosophy.

However, I have to go to work. But I'll leave this in my notifications and read it later.

EDIT: unfortunately, I think we know a lot less about the brain than you seem to think. And I don't think you can predicate an entire argument against free will on 'the brain will always do the same thing in every situation'. I'll try to watch that video at some point, though.
