  1. If we do not have free will we also cannot choose whether to act as if we had it or otherwise.

  2. I guess that the proponents of this theory could object that perhaps the purpose is not to fool anyone, but just to do an experiment, and perhaps it does not take much effort to the authors of the experiment to do so. I nonetheless very much agree with you that the entire idea is ridiculous, I would say because of Ockham's razor: in the considered scenario an objective reality exists somewhere anyways, so why can't it just be ours, especially in the absence of any indication whatsoever of the contrary? I find the hypothesis wholly unmotivated and unnecessary and have not yet understood whether its proponents truly find it plausible or they just think it is something cool or original to say.

  5. Simple answer: you can move some matter with your mind and specifically what is connected to your brain by your nervous system.

  6. Respectfully I think that this argument is not correct. In the described scenario, our presence within reality does not cause it, it simply adds to it the property of being perceived.
