If "free will" is meaningless, so is "feeling of free will", etc. Consider "feeling of vubbleflox".
It's uncontentious that neither pure determinism and pure randomness is (libertarian) free wiil. However, some libertarians theories (eg Robert Kane)'s rely on mixutures of determinism and randomness.
As noted abve, that has sort-of happened although no change of definition was needed.
Why would a compatibilist such as myself have a problem with "pure" determinism being free will?
Fair point. Will edit to clarify.
