    These kinds of philosophical questions are easily defeated by asking "does it matter though?"

    it may not matter at all, but we're here, somehow, made of sentient flesh, kept on a giant rock hurling through space, spinning around an enormous buring ball of fire. it's all bizarre and none of us knows what is going on, so why not take some time out of the lives we live as statistical abnormalities, and just ponder on the whys and hows and whats of the things around us, and our own minds

        Like yeah, exactly. With the right person, you can talk for hours and hours about all kinds of stuff that interests you.

            Small stuff doesn't really interest me, or my partner.

            Doesn't mean we're incapable of discussing dinner plans or cleaning schedules.

                Hey baby I brought home some dinner-
                “Husband. Thy presence brings thoughts of philosophical questions.”
                Alright. I’m just gonna eat this burrito though.

                  But also meaningless bullshit. That does not denote a bad relationship.

                        I don't think that defeats it at all, it just changes the direction of the conversation and is as deeply philosophical as the first. Some might say life goes on with or without free will so it doesn't matter, other say that the a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt, and could reshape society in very profound ways, so of course it matters.

                        There is value in asking the question and in the consideration itself. Even if we never find the answer, it's good for our brains to think about these things. Knowledge, and the search for it, can be an end unto itself. We don't always need to do something with it.

                          I would even say: Big talk > small talk

                              Legally, yes. Deterministicly, maybe.

                              Free will is just the total sum of available options an actor can take, assuming another actor can be put into the same position.

                                Small talk is the equivalent of dogs sniffing each others ass. The topic isn't really the point, it's just a quick and easy way to gauge another person's mood and attitude towards you. It's a skill worth developing. And I say this as someone with social anxiety.

                                      Man I really hate AI 'upscaled' images like this. It still looks bad! A JPEG artifact image and an AI 'shitscaled' image are both shit, just in different ways.
