I don't believe this is possible in practice. How deeply do you believe it,
and what evidence could get you to change your mind?

For me, I no longer "believe in" free will. It would take some pretty
clever and complex evidence to change my mind - in particular I believe
free will is precluded by physics so I suspect it would take upending some
pretty basic physical assumptions. Which would be cool.
