Like:
Bad thing happened = The universe made it happen, not your fault
Forgetting to do something = Well there’s nothing I can do, my brain chemicals are dictated by the laws of physics
Like if I don’t keep using Determism as an explantion, my brain just 🤯💀…
Yes. imo determinism is… kind of a useless idea? Like, you can say something is caused deterministically, but that doesn’t actually affect things like fault or intention. “But my brain chemicals made me do it.” My brother in Christ you ARE the brain chemicals
Explanation is not excuse. It doesn’t matter wether they did a bad thing because they wanted to or their genes compelled them do. The outcome is still the same.
However, that doesn’t make it a bad idea. Accepting the fact that we live in a deterministic universe entirely dismantles the foundation from emotions like hate and replaces it with compassion. I don’t like every person I meet but I don’t hate anyone nor I blame anyone for what they are - they didn’t have a say in it.
