When people argue against free will, you often see them smuggle in some intriguing moral assumptions. They often end up in the same place: if people don’t have free will, then we shouldn’t hold them responsible for their actions. We should stop being judgmental. We should overhaul the criminal justice system, because criminals supposedly didn’t choose to commit their crimes—they “couldn’t help it.” The implicit argument here is that they don’t have free will, but you—the reader—do. You’re smart enough, educated enough, morally enlightened enough to freely decide how to treat others. You can choose to create a more lenient or compassionate legal system. You can reimagine our institutions. But those other people—they didn’t have choices. They’re just automatons. Pawns. Creatures being pushed around by forces beyond their control. It’s a quietly elitist view. And frankly, an ugly one. It strips people of agency in the name of compassion. But once you deny someone’s free will, once you say they aren’t truly autonomous, it opens the door to all kinds of rationalizations for authoritarianism. If they don’t have free will, then what does it matter what we do to them? I’m not against exploring the scientific or philosophical arguments about determinism. Those can be interesting. But too often, the “no free will” crowd embeds moral arguments they never fully own up to. And one of the most common is: the unenlightened masses don’t have free will—but the rest of us do.
