Have you ever tried to understand a philosopher? If you have you know they are completely full of shit. Their own history is a loose connection of people claiming credit for empty ideas that are generously held up as stepping stones in human thought. Really everything they say is meaningless. They're dumb. What does someone with a PhD in philosophy have in common with someone who has a PhD in HR? They don't have a PhD!

I've often admired doctors, physicists, and people with ripped abs for the free will they must possess. Imagine studying to be a Dr and for years suppressing your own desire to watch cartoons and get drunk all the time. Instead they just read. They must almost give their whole being over to the study and practice of medicine for the benefit of others (well really themselves considering how much they get paid but it's still impressive).

If we had more free will we would get so much more done as a society. We would be healthier, smarter, more productive, and better people.

This is what philosophers who are worth a damn would be figuring out. How do we insulate free will? How do we maximize free will? Does meditation help? Does getting off to a good start in the morning help? Who knows.
