After reading a book on the brain, I find myself thinking that no one is really responsible for their actions. I don't mean this so much in the "no free will, everything is determined already" sense, which seems a little bit dubious, but rather in a broader sense. If "we" are really just the product of our genetics and our environments, how are we to be held responsible for what we do? If someone commits a crime because his/her brain is underdeveloped, or badly developed (think: underdeveloped prefrontal cortex -> impulsive decisions), how is he/she to be held personally responsible? Our legal system seems to make the implicit assumption that everyone is in control of how they act; that everyone is on the same playing field. But we really aren't. Looking at that, it doesn't look too Reddit-y. It's a touch different than the standard brand of liberalism you get from the most upvoted comment in r/politics, at least.
