    I have a good, constructive debate on free will, responsibility and punishment with Gregg Caruso. Do you want to live in a world without moral responsibility? I don't.https://aeon.co/essays/on-free-will-daniel-dennett-and-gregg-caruso-go-head-to-head …

        I think we might already be very close to that point in the United States.

        You're gonna need a really powerful microscope to find that moral responsibility. Keep us updated on the hunt.

        I don't want to live in world without moral responsibility, therefore we all have free will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        AND the part of you that thinks you feel that way isn't even the most complicated thing about you. But people still think it's a soul...

        You conflate the question of what is true with what is useful.

        I thought the question was about what is, not about what we want there to be.

        And how is "what is" not the result of a continuous effort by people influencing things based on "what they want it to be"? We live in a universe where time is continuous & things change, not a snapshot of a single instant that serves no purpose
