Sure... free will is a complicated subject. I haven't thoroughly read the thread you linked, yet.. but, I did just add a comment to the thread.

And I know that no matter what one thinks about free will, we also need laws..... and we need to hold others and ourselves responsible for their/our actions.

No one is going to be excused from prosecution if they say the magic words in a trial "but, what about those free will experiments?! I didn't have a choice but to do what I did!".

I'm at the point now, where thinking about free will helps me to have humility, too. I feel like "wow, I'm lucky I feel this way, and have accomplished what I have accomplished, it could just have easily been very different..". instead of "I'm so smart.. Look at me! look what I've done and what I've been thinking".

and mostly... I respect myself because I admit that I have issues, and I have a desire to change for the better.

this is my quote of the day...Thank you brainhi.
“You can't take credit for your talents, but it matters that you use them. You can't really be blamed for your weaknesses, but it matters that you correct them. So pride and shame don't make a lot of sense, in the final analysis, but they weren't much fun anyway.” Sam Harris
