Is it really a sin if it’s hardwired in? The neurological basis for ‘bad’ behaviour
A captivating examination of the biology that underlies behaviours often considered immoral raises questions about the existence of free will.
@NorthernInvader I take a dualistic view of this. On one hand, I acknowledge that the universe follows a combination of deterministic and probabilistic rules that leave no room for free will in objective reality.
On the other hand, I am aware that disbelief in free will can, by itself, cause detrimental behavioural changes... & also that choice *feels* real. Thus, I assert that free will is a subjective reality even though it cannot objectively exist given physics accurately describes reality.
