However "hard" your determinism, there is no support for the notion of agency, and that is all that matters. Without agency, free will is nothing but an illusion, with same moral consequences.
This isn’t true. The position I argued for above is that agency derives from determinism because it is necessarily causal: you have agency because you make decisions in line with your goals. If you didn’t make decisions that were deterministically selected from your goals, you’d actually lack agency!
