        I'm over halfway through. @danieldennett seems to try to argue objectively when he can then appeals to pragmatism when pressed

        He flips between arguing that true moral responsibility obviously exists and that we need to pretend it exists.

        The robot really does control the plane. But does it make sense to non-correctively punish it for its mistakes?

        "Non-correctively". I.e. not for learning or correcting behavior, but simply for its own sake. For "justice".

        You're introducing new premises. Nonetheless, what of meaning would this punishment achieve?

        Because of its corrective nature, which contradicts the premise and ignores the point. @SamHarrisOrg

        Your valiant effort to communicate clearly, met with obfuscation and appeals to consequences. So frustrating! @SamHarrisOrg @danieldennett

        This is harder to listen too than the Namazie podcast! Very frustrating.

        Actually now you mention it, it did have same moralistic tone like an effort to justify revulsion. @MDoveton @SamHarrisOrg @danieldennett

        I'm an hour in. I find Dan's position on moral responsibility to be scarcely coherent.

        A fantastic litmus test I found: the more words they need, the worse their argument. Like Namazie.
