Thanks, will give it a listen. And yes, my point of view becomes more difficult the more rational the person acts when doing harm. The stereotypical evil banker is such a case, I find it much harder to find sympathy for him than for the crazy guy who does something horrible in a delusional state of mind. I think it also makes sense to punish the rational criminal harder, because it actually might help, while the delusional person needs another kind of help. I'm not sure how much you can do about your attitudes, I think freedom of will is an illusion. If you decide to turn your life around and become a good person, what made you do that? What made another one not do that? I think it's, as said, just the consequence of everything that ever happened before. I sadly can't find the article anymore, in which it said that the illusion of a self and free will is important to stay the same person over time and that only than, someone can be held responsible for something and that society can only work if you have something to fear from doing wrong. In the article it was even mentioned to be proven by some simple evolutionary algorithm.
