>Yes, that's clearly the case. For the good of society, you need to be rehabilitated, and if that's not possible, then you must be permanently sequestered. It's not fundamentally your fault, but we can't have a person prone to committing these crimes on the loose.

The main course of the video starts at around 3:47, btw.

That's when one of the hosts (Nick) reads the opening of "My Twisted World" and afterwards another host (Mike) brings up the fact that Rodger seemed to attribute free will to other people (particularly women), but not to himself.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't gotten more posts, because people here talk about the issue of free will and about Elliot Rodger all the time.

So I would imagine that a video and discussion combining the two would make for a very active thread.

Maybe I'm just being impatient? Well, let's see what happens.

Was this thread fated to never take off?

>no free will
nice meme faggot

I feel like there some free will, bit that's limited to your environment, society, and upbringing. You can do whatever in those boundaries. Is is true free will? Considering normie manipulation by companies and such, not really, but do people care?

Please, do go on.

How do you define "free will"?

Why do you believe in it?

But if you're never free from the compulsions brought about by your environment (and genetics), then how can you have even a bit of free will?

"You" yourself are the product of your environment and genetics. You can never via some act of "will" step outside your own causal history. Even your will itself the product of your genetics and conditioning.
