Notes
- It draws on evidence from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology]].
- It argues that:
- Free will is an illusion, and that everything we do is determined by our genes, our environment, and our past experiences.
- We are often unaware of the factors that are influencing our choices.
- Our emotions can override our rational judgment.
- Our genes predispose us to certain behaviors, our environment can trigger or suppress these genetic predispositions.
- Epigenetics can turn on and off certain genes.
- If we do not have free will, then we cannot be held morally responsible for our actions.
- We need to rethink our criminal justice system, which is based on the assumption that people are responsible for their crimes.
