Nope. Even if you show some flaw in the Libet experiment the non-existence of free will is still a basic reality you can infer by the fact all our physiology and behavior is the product of lots of little physical cause and effect events not any different from the physical cause and effect events driving simpler processes like a thermostat. Thoughts, emotions, and impulses aren't willed into existence, they all resuly from physical causes, which is why they're all subject to alteration by way of physical disease, physical trauma, or psychoactive compounds.

If that answer is so self evidently true and obvious how is the question of for example what consciousness is and how it‘s created still a mystery? Afterall it plays a role in decision making.
