People can only react based on what their associative memory has picked up from their environment, and they didn't have control over what environment they were born into.

No way he could have known it was a hole. If we get him some dry clothes and get him inside right away, that's pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yup pretty much, laplaces deamon and all that. at least the process is so complicated most people can delude themselves into thinking they have free will, which is only a problem when they decide they have the right to murder someone who was driven to commit a crime by the way they all permitted them to be raised, like the irrational ape creatures we are. I'm talking about capital punishment if that wasn't clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my point is, if free will is a lie, then the person who lies, the person who steals, the person who kills, the person who's a racist, or a sexist, etc. should be forgiven because they never had any choice to do otherwise. I don't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
