Simply put, free will has two meanings: one is making choices of your own free will without coercion, and the other is picking different options under the exact same circumstances. In reality, this absolute freedom doesn’t exist, since our decisions are shaped by our genes, life experiences and brain chemistry. If we reject free will entirely, our traditional ideas of praise and punishment fall apart—good and bad traits are mostly down to nature and nurture. Still, morality won’t collapse; punishments shift to containment and rehabilitation, while compliments serve to encourage good behaviour.

That’s great
