3.5. The Freedom of Non-Utility

If we have the freedom to speak, then we must also have the freedom not to speak.

Anything that is truly 'free', should have the attribute of optional utility allowing it to be or turned off or put aside. Otherwise, it is not truly free.

If free will is so free, ask someone who believes free will is the driving force of their life to completely stop using it. Envision what their life would be like if they completely ‘turned their free will off’... tLife would be functionally impossible if free will was responsible for all that those subscribing to free will attribute to it.

And even if one was to 'try' this experiment (as they were causally determined to do, due to their strong headed nature) they would likely grow tired of the useless attempt and soon return to their previous mode of life along their own causal chain. Not due to their free will, but because this is what that individual would have done regardless of what beliefs they use to make sense of those actions.

Most of what we do is unconscious action, and some of it rises to the level where uncertainty has us ascribe the belief in free will as a pacifier for difficult situations.
