CMV:I think that there is sufficient justification that reality is deterministic and that free will (in the philosophical libertarian sense) is false.

Now this is a CMV where I would *dearly* love to change my view on this, but I think that there is no reasonable way to have 'true free will'.

What do I mean by free will? 
Well, I mean the existence of original thought that is bound to the will of the individual. When a person does an evil act or a good act, they are taking advantage of their intellect and shaping their reality in accordance with their will - they choose to impart an evil act. What happened up and until that act is irrelevant, because in that moment the person chooses to become good.

I think that this is an illusion.

Determinism merely states that every micro-instance has an antecedent. We are all shaped from a sub-quantum level of micro instances cascading upwards from instant to instant that shapes our fundamental essence. From every observable action that we take, it is the background of the person that shaped that action 'good' or 'evil' based on the subjective morality of every individual person around them. 
To wit - if every single background event from a persons conception all the way up to their current state, with every decision being met, it would be possible with near perfect certainty to predict their next move. You could argue that there is a slight possibility of the entire universe (ie reality) completely fracturing in an unknowable way, but the only rational explanation for that is that there is an outside force - which is, i suppose the argument for the existence of god.

Given that we have no evidence to suggest that this could be the case, the only rational and logical explanation is that reality is deterministic. 

There is, undestandably, a group of philosophers calling themselves compatiblists who argue for free will to logically be preceded by determinism, because even if we are able to draw a logical line from existence of the universe to now, we are unable to use that to predict the future, which exists as choice in the mind of the person. I would call that soft determinism; because the part where compatiblism falls down for me is that they don't take into account the persons free choice as a consequence of their determinism.

Tl;DR - reality is deterministic. Free will is an illusion.

Please hit me with your hardest philosophical take downs, i am 100% eager to hear them.

I think you are wrong on this one. Even at the smallest level we can currently understand (sub-atomic level), we have absolutly no way of knowing what happens, and what will happens.

Look at chaos theory, and quantum phisics to know more, but basically, randomness is something much more present than what you can think. 

And if a lots of things are random, even at the smaller level, how can anything be absolutly determined by previous knowledge, given that something random will interact with it ?

So, whatever free will is a thing or not, at least determinism isn't an absolute answer either.
