So I don`t think we really do choose I think that free will is an anthropisation of a matrix of biased yet random inputs/outputs which is our brain.....
Ah, the dehumanization begins.
So what am I? The sum total of of random inputs in a really nice neural net of arbitrary complexity? So umm, if somebody were to sneak up behind me and ballistically emplace a conical lead object in the fleshy, red, basal part of my neural net and therefore cause the entire construct to reach equilibrium with the outside environment, that wouldn't be murder would it?
So I suppose the opposition undermines its own argument that the alleged infant-drowning was morally wrong in the first place.
