Free Will and determinism and...

[CaptainBubba]

Determinism doesn't alleviate social and biological responsibility. Its basically a pointless bit of truth. One of those philosophical properties of existence that only matter when your gross pothead friend decides hes smart and mumbles incoherently about it for 10 seconds before falling face first into a steel railing.

Using determinism as a reason to pursue hedonistic activities is not a logical argument. Because determinism means there is a single autonomous chain of events,any action taken against your pursuit of killing people or whatever it is you youngins get kicks out of these days also falls into this chain of events.

In other words, understanding determinism and realizing it is most likely the truth, doesnt change anything.
