What do you think about that experiment though? It shows that in some cases the feeling of free will is an illusion. It opens up the possibility that it is always an illusion. And that is what people like Adyashanti run with, they go further and say, if you look closely, you can see it directly - that the feeling of free will is always an interpretation. It seems, either it is objectively true or it isn't.

I agree that the question of free will has an objective answer. Either we are conscious creatures with some agency, free will, or we are conscious creatures with the illusion of agency, no free will. I want to believe what is objectively true, not what is comforting. The part of your argument I find least convincing is that the ego is an illusion. To put it simply I'm stuck as myself, my lived experience involves an "I."
