      "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

      No. It can have legitimacy when it's the best way to change behavior.

          then what is the meaning when you say 'all the way down'? Personal responsibility is an afterthought to you it seems.

          I've always thought this too. Time is linear so any talk of determinism is basically cause and effect.
