It is, indeed, a common problem among lay hard incompatibilists.

Denial of conscious choice is one of the most absurd positions to hold, I would say.

And many don’t understand that determinism is compatible with feeling of free will being non-illusory, as J. S. Mill described it in the past — adequate determinism isn’t a force, but rather a conclusion we can arrive at when analyzing laws that govern various objects. And humans are, well, predictable!
