This makes you a Kantian. Kant was  died in the wool determinist too.
Kant was addressing age old philosophical problems. He was not
inventing them, nor was he trying to ignore them as you seem to love
to do.

Your argumentation is so tragically poor. I know what you are trying
to say. But calling "free-will" a man made concept is like calling a
Cerberus an animal. It fails to satisfy: all words are "animals" in
this sense. Determinism is also a "man-made concept" too. I think you
might need to say more to satisfy the problem of "free-will".

You are completely contradicting yourself as usual. To be a
determinist is to accept that we cannot act against our nature, and
that everything we do, or have done, or will do is an expression of
our nature. We act as we are determined to act and that is an end of
it.
Once again, you show yourself to be full of contradictions.

Hint: try to learn the difference between contradictions and
consequences

Hint: look up determinism and nature.
