> Originally proposed by Judith Rich Harris in The Nurture Assumption, and promoted by popsci big shots like Matt Ridley and Stephen Pinker, the idea got another push from Robert Plomin in his 2018 book Blueprint. The latest proponent is economist Bryan Caplan on the 80,000 Hours podcast. Their argument is backed by heavyweight research, but simple at heart. I'm just outlining the arguments related to this discussion from most of those author's works. This podcast "Final Thoughts on Free Will" by Sam Harris presents some compelling arguments, if you're interested. https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/241-final-thoughts-on-free-will https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/241...
