Well yeah but it's so clear and obvious because I don't have overriding concerns about preserving a nebulous concept of my humanity. I've cast it aside cause I never had it and all I'm left with is performing empty actions as a human construct that have little emotional value to me in any sense of an important human narrative. Accepting that I'm an automaton doesn't challenge my sense of worth cause I have an atrophied sense of worth. I'm simply "lucky" in that my natural view happens to be the most obviously logical.

You're not being a skeptic when you cling to emotional needs to see yourself as having agency. It's a pretty simple idea: without proof of free will the default should be to assume it doesn't exist.
