something rather than nothing isn't a hard problem for me because of causality. As rational thinkers, we don't want to get into nothing causing something. So in that regard nominalism is for people who struggle to think things through
I'm not particularly a determinist btw.
A fatalist is functionally the same as a determinist. Both preclude free will by advocating the totally inevitable universe. I'm not sure Plato or the neoplatonists saw this kind of universe. Others on this sub see Spinoza as a determinist. I'm unconvinced.

You can derive libertarian (but bounded) freewill from platonism. You should look into it.
I have a hard time taking folks seriously that ignore the first hard problem as any discussion about consciouness and thus freewill must be derivable from your answer.
Are you an idealist?
