Why is everything pointless without free will?

  EXACTLY! that's really the definition! But I do not need to win the point "pointless to do anything", sufficient is "pointless to debate". If it is predestined, then it is simply not really a debate.

    I don't agree about debate. Debate is an important interaction between two humans in which a consensus is reached (generally) to guide a course of action. The debate is important for altering the likely course of action. If you decide that debate is unimportant, you don't get these I redactions and miss out on important I formation Such as we are doing here Debate is simply an exchange of information between two entities, its our perception of what debate is that's incorrect

  Because whatever you do, you'd have done anyway. Same for whatever you feel. If there's a deterministic universe, it includes your thoughts and feelings, not just "what happens" at large.
