Steven Pinker and the Gruffalo
“A random even does not fit the concept of free will anymore than a lawful one does,
and could not serve as the long-sought locus of moral responsibility”
Steven Pinker took a stroll through the deep dark wood,Frances Collins/René Descartes/Voltaire saw Pinker and thought he looked good.Free will is not from the brain/the soul, but from Science,They agreed on this and formed an alliance.Collins/Descartes/Voltaire said “Genes decide what you do”Pinker said “genetic determination is/is not true”
On went Pinker through the deep dark wood,Sartre/Kant/Liplace saw Pinker and he didn’t look good.Sartre/Kant/Liplace thought free will could one day be predicted,And this is where their views conflicted.Pinker said, “we can/can’t know the future due to complexes in the mind/brain/soul,A super predicting computer would be insane”
On went Pinker through the deep dark wood,Hume/Darrow/Calvin saw Pinker and he didn’t look good.He said you can’t be held responsible for the things that you’ve done,Genetics/predetermination/the soul and the environment control everyone,In our head/soul is where moral responsibilities lie,Leopald and Leob should both die…
Pinker said some reactions we cannot control,But these come from genetics/the brain/environment, not form the soul.
