Can people really be considered evil if they just act in accordance with their genetic predisposition? Does free will exist?

>>2053657
Best scene of the movie.

My genetic predisposition is to treat people as if free will does exist.

>Can people really be considered evil if they just act in accordance with their genetic predisposition?

Yes, evil people are clearly genetically predisposed to being evil but that doesn't make them less evil.

>Does free will exist?

No, but free will is not required to do evil or to abstain from doing evil.

This is definitely the easy approach, and arguably the only approach that leads to humane outcomes.

>free will does exist.
Of the little that I know, one needs to think of limited will and not 'unfree' will. There's an element of choice but it is limited by all sorts of stuff.

What a dumb answer.

There's always a degree of evil. If you had to choose between big evil and small evil, a rational would naturally choose the small. Not choosing simply forces the natural state of big evil overwhelming small evil or both taking place.

You mean maybe Ben Harris? Or is it Sam Stiller?
