I think that I am instead, comfortably camped out in a "make sense of
it all" model of tomorrow which embraces and rejects both
reductionism, holism, relativism, functionalism, and panpsychism.

We are part of a tremendous complexity, and a tremendous complexity is
part of us. Sense cuts through that though also, giving us a degree of
simplicity and coherence on different levels.

We are part of a wider complexity which we have no direct influence
over, but that doesn't dilute the reality of the that we do directly
influence parts of our mind and body, and the changes we make with
them to our environment and it's future.

I don't reject contemporary scientific observations, I only suggest
that we try interpreting all forms of energy as subjective experience
on different scales ('time').

I don't think Free Will comes from me only. All forms of energy are
free will to the entity that experiences it directly. The more
indirectly we experience it, the more it is perceived as deterministic
and random.

With what can you conclude that you can or cannot deny something
without free will?
