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 …

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.
Ok suppose we decide to fix Trump’s control system after he is convicted of a crime and he says no thanks. What would you do?

Ok this is a good point! We already lock people up against their wishes, so in this scenario, why would Trump's wishes matter if he's convicted?
-
Fine. That’s punishment.

Punishment has not deterred crime. Punishment is due to imperfect governance. Man has not invented a perfect judicial system. AI in future will produce "Justice Machine" Present judicial systems is dictated by powerful elite. Detail study of balance of self-interests is reqd.

There certainly must be SOME acts worthy of punishment.

I don't see how punitive judgements hold if we're in a deterministic world. If we're control systems and we act in dangerous manners then the question becomes how to fix the system rather than blame. Punishment doesn't even really make sense.
