The Gray Area with Sean Illing

NOTE

** The definition of determinism and compatibilism**

Determinism acknowledges that the world operates based on scientific principles, where everything is interconnected and influenced by factors beyond our control. It suggests that if two individuals with completely different lives swapped their circumstances, the outcome would be the same.

It suggests that individuals can be held accountable for their actions, despite the deterministic nature of the world.
