Comment on Society is starting to appropriately accommodate neurodivergence, yet stupid/idiot/crazy/lazy etc. stay in the vocabulary.
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.
Well, then use the words you mean. Cruelty was clearly an incorrect one. We can’t exchange ideas effectively of you refuse to use words with their assigned meaning.
Please feel free to get familiar with semantics.

Now if you have an actual argument for why free will exists, please do argue that. Else, I have said as much as needed.
I didn’t ever claim free will existed. Just congratulated you on your success.
