Arguments of Free Will and Determinism seem lost to this generation. It is odd that some of those who are champions of civil right are often at the same time so deterministic, as if rights are contingent on an inability to control oneself, “Leopards cannot change their spots.” Identity is fixed, and so too thought, forever. And yet, the most fluid expression of authenticity is to change one’s mind, but the Determinists out there simply won’t have it. A criminal is forever thus, so too a political adversary, no chance ever of rehabilitation, or parole.
