Free will doesn't exist in the first place

Prove it.

Or not. Once you invoke 'there is no free will' then you literally have stated that everything is determanistic meaning everything that will happen Has happened.

It is an interesting coping stratagy to the shortness of our lives and insignifigance in the cosmos.

Prove it.

Asking to prove non-existance of something. Typical.

I mean, that's the empiric method. Often theories are easier proven by showing the impossibility of how the inverse of a theory is true, because it is easier to prove a theory via failure to disprove it than to directly prove it. Thus disproving (or failing to disprove) free will is most likely easier than directly proving free will.
