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

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?
