You are only looking for examples that support your theory, you should be looking for examples that falsify your theory. A rational person doesn't look for many white swans, he looks for a single black swan.

If you feel the Earth is flat, does it mean it's flat? No. That alone falsifies your theory.

There's plenty more examples. If you feel an image is moving, is it moving? No, optical *illusions* are as the name implies: not real.

Whatever your brain thinks is happening, is not actually happening.

Yes, the feeling of free will exists, but reality doesn't care about feelings, either what you feel exists, or it doesn't. And you accepted it doesn't. That's pretty much the definition of an illusion: something that appears real, but it's not.

Therefore free will is not real, it's an illusion.
