Compatabilists believe that some notion of freee will and determinism can coexist
You are very sensible, a compromiser. You are a naturalist and do not believe in spooks, so your theory of mind is thoroughly materialist, but you do not accept that that makes everything mental somehow unreal or nonexistent. Goals, ideas, desires, imaginings, are all perfectly real, they just are implemented in the form of physical machinery.
Your personal experience is real enough (it seems stupid to deny the most real thing there can be) but it is also a kind of theatrical illusion. Your mind is creating a show for itself, serving as playwright, director, cast, and audience all at once. If you meditate you can catch yourself doing it.
