  1. 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”

  2. 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”

  3. On went Pinker through the deep dark wood, Sartre/Kant/Liplace saw Pinker and he didn’t look good. Sartre/Kant/Liplacethought 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”

  4. 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…

  5. Pinker said some reactions we cannot control, But these come from genetics/the brain/environment, not form the soul.
