Today no one is saying: did you have the free will to not have an epileptic seizure? Of course not. Do you have the free will to not be depressed? The person who's ready to jump off the bridge in that instant, do they have the free will to not jump off the bridge I don't think so. And the more I add up and explore the human condition I'm forced to conclude that the direction we are headed is that we are all products of an absence of free will. As a result, society needs more compassion for people who do not otherwise fit in.
