Why should the processes underlying my brain function be distinct from every other physical process in the universe? There's nothing magical about the human brain.
You're not outside this game, you're stuck in it with the rest of us.

Pretty sure that free will wouldn't be a concern if events are preordained. It would be like watching a movie for the 5th time, except it's so boring you don't actually ever remember any details.
The universe as Gigli.
Faust:
We were taught about virtual particle annihilation (and separation) where charges pop in and out.
From a classical matter perspective the universe could be deterministic (everything can be extrapolated out from the initial bang as a sequence of interactions from the start to the heat death).
If random white noise even of minuscule energy levels are introduced you have a random/pseudorandom effect and the physical sequence is no longer entirely deterministic
