i think it's pretty clear that we don't have free will but that doesn't really change anything also we all have to act like people have free will wrt to justice, i think we basically have to behave as if people have free will in order for society to function in other words, SBF's mom's proposal is not actionable

Once free will is carefully defined, the free will vs. determinism debate resolves itself completely. We do have free will (defined as evitability or similar)[1]; we don't have free will (defined as freedom physics).

Our whole society is built around exploiting biochemical and evolutionary behavioral patterns. Individual humans might believe they have free will but at a species level humans are too predictable to support that.

Powerful external incentives credibly able to destroy us if we donā€™t cooperate. Bad intuitions that cannot be overcome even once weā€™re aware of them, e.g. some optical illusions, and then act upon. Notice that randomness has nothing to do with either of these, which is what the usual arguments center around.
