I believe the more nuanced argument is that even though you think you have free will and are making choices such as “let’s build a hospital” or “I will write a song”, due to the nature of all effects needing causes, in a chain - there is no such thing as free will as there is no cause without effect.

Agreed. So far the only things we know of that don’t seem to have detectable causes are virtual particles and maybe radioactive decay, I think?
True (I guess anyway!) but consciousness still alters the physical world. What’s driving consciousness, that’s the real question IMO.
