I am not that anon, but I will chime in. The problem is that nobody is even sure what consciousnesses and exactly how it relates to physicality. By definition, subjective first person consciousness is not even objectively observable like physical things are. So to apply these constraints on consciousness in terms of what matter and energy may or may not be doing in terms of determinism or indeterminism can not be the whole story. Physicalism can not account for consciousness and so to try and doom free will or explain consciousness in terms of physical goings on is never going to be the full story. See pic rel. This is called the explanatory gap
