Re: Free Will
The problem with accepting free will is that once you accept that people's actions and even their wishes are determined, you begin to see a whole new side to responsibility. Soon you are forced to conclude that blame and accomplishment are senseless concepts other than for their deterrence/incentive capabilities, and that therefore, concepts like justice, morality, ethics, etc... Are fundamentally flawed.
I'm prepared to accept that. Are you?
If you aren't, you will likely stick to the mystical concept of free will. Or maybe you will just avoid thinking too hard about the implications.
