I shall watch later. Sam just put out a new free will video. A summation of his thoughts. I noticed he seemed to put a lot of emphasis on not understanding the mechanisms whereby we draw our thoughts, and intent. And seemed to make conclusions too quickly about this matter imo
My interview on free will with Robert Kuhn is now available. I think I manage to express my view quite clearly here, and will be interested in reactions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc07mF67KB4 …

Clearly you misunderstood. He affirmatively says that intent matters.

"Two of the most important western religions today are communism &psychiatry.Each rests on the principle that human behavior is determined by scientific laws &that the individual has no free will,& on the practice of depriving individuals of the freedom to make uncoerced choices"

"The telephone does not explain how we speak, or the computer, how we think. The PET scan cannot explain what is in our mind. Calling the mind the "brain" is like burning a book and calling the ashes its "content." "

I think autonomy and control are good enough, we can just throw away the older phrase "free will". However, I can't see any justification for punishment since what's happening is a problem with the control system. So this calls for a fix of the system. Punishment makes no sense.

The "deterministic" view will always have that "wild card" argument of "everything is determined, control is an ilussion", witch is just the end of the discussion. I wonder how that people would describe a NOT determenistic world, and how that world would differ from this one.
