I agree with most of what you said, except your definition of absolute free will. I think the absolute one would mean doing whatever you desire and is in your capacity. Changing shape and such are mere desires that we cannot accomplish due to limitations of our nature. That does not take away from our free will. Free will is the ability to do what we want and can do with our resources. Free will is having the choice to kick you or cat for no reason. It is also the freedom for both of you to retaliate.
So is free will ultimately what we desire or we rarely take time comprehend what it comprises and its repercussions?
Supreme Court example: Marijuana is not legalized by the Supreme Court, but states have individually legalized it. In the same light but in different directions, gay marriage was legalized last week, can a state go ahead and illegalize it?
- sova 11y agoAs far as I know, the supreme court has not ruled on controlled substances. Those are established by congress (and the DEA) and states have their right to have legislation that negates or otherwise "violates" congressional action. Congress can always withhold monies for roads and infra, though, so they can coerce states into cooperation in a different way. The Marriage Equality action by the Supreme Court explicitly states that states cannot illegalize same-sex marriage. Can a state illegalize it? No. Can states legalize the sale of cannabis? Yes. Can the DEA still come in and bust people in those states? Yes. Is that fucked up? You betcha.
