“Through mind alteration?” Yes. I think there are already (very) early signs of mind alteration in terms of GLP1s effect on addiction, I would expect more things along those lines.
“Some people just seem to really like retribution. I don’t know why; I personally think it’s stupid. But I don’t think my view has anything to do with determinism, and I doubt their view has anything to do with a lack of it.” Hmmmm, I disagree here but am open to being convinced. Most people’s moral intuition for retribution seems to stem from the idea that a criminal chose to break the law, and so deserves punishment.A proper understanding of causation and determinism would seem to negate the idea that criminals have meaningfully chosen in any sense worthy of punishment.
