I don't like the isolationist idea that people shouldn't use memes of each other, or even the mannerisms of each other. We live in a pluralistic society. Some of the greatest riches of my life are explicitly because of cultural exchange - black people consuming white media, interacting with it, reinterpreting it, and spitting something new out, and the reverse as well, and all the permutations of the above with all other racial or sub cultural groups.

Cultural exchange enriches us all. The implications here, though, suggest that cultural exchange should be one-way only.

That's just impossible. It's too much to ask. You can't expect a white child living on a street with black neighbors to not have mutual exchange of ideas, games, dancers, manners of speech.

And if you did expect that, and if you got what you wanted, the end result would be the isolation of the black neighbors. Because who wants to take part in a one sided relationship, where there are strict rules that apply to you but not to the other party? It's too dangerous to be a part of a relationship like that. One party assumes all the risk while the other takes advantage of all the liberty and is able to extract all the value.

And, importantly, it will just never happen. White people will never, ever, stop interacting with black people, exchanging ideas and ways of living and speaking. Why would anybody want them to?

>the kind of moral responsibility that many people think other people have.

People intuitively think you have moral responsibility for actions you were in control of. The article centers their conception of free will around control as well. I think that's a really solid place to center it.

No, I don't want to convince you that libertarian free will is coherent. I think it's not, which is part of what drives the compatibilist intuition to recontextualize what is called the "feeling of having free will" - if the Libertarian approach is not only non existent, but not even coherent, that opens us up to the idea that a different approach from the libertarian one might produce something more coherent, more valuable.

Do you believe the incompatibilists conception of free will is coherent?

This is awesome. I want to know HOW
