Those people calling other aren’t bad for calling someone stupid or lazy if they don’t have free will.
You have grasped it.
If you assume free will doesn’t exist, evil or good doesn’t either.
Correct.
Murder or curing cancer, it’s like the sun shining, and inavoidable, neutral fact.
Correct.
Of course you may dismiss this as rambling idiocy, but I won’t hold it against a clockwork automaton.
No, you have grasped exactly what I said, at least on the level of the intellect. I realize of course you resist as it goes against what you merely WANT to be true. This I cannot do anything about, as you said. But you have understood perfectly. Well done!

Well, this conversation is really pointless then. Kind of embarrassing that the universe compelled you to post this drivel, but it can’t be helped.

Oh if only humanity did have an universally agreed upon meaning and point, so much strife could be avoided. Alas, such a thing does not exist in reality, but only in the minds of people. Those ever malleable and shifting minds.
I do as I do because because I am compelled, indeed! Because I wish to see less cruelty in the world. It is simplicity itself.

Cruelty implies a choice. It doesn’t exist in a world without free will.

Cruelty is merely a label we put upon an action we find harmful. Like every word, it is made up.
No word is the thing it points to. Except perhaps the word, “word” itself. Every word I have written is a small lie.
One does not go around licking recipes in order to taste the dish.
