IS BASED NOT ONLY ON ABSTRACT ETHICAL JUDGMENTS, BUT ALSO ON WHAT IT BELIEVES TO BE FACTUAL STATEMENTS.
AND THESE FACTUAL STATEMENTS JUST DON'T STAND UP TO RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY.
LIBERALS VALUE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT HUMANS HAVE FREE WILL.
ACCORDING TO LIBERALISM THE DECISIONS OF VOTERS AND CUSTOMERS ARE NEITHER DETERMINISTIC NOT RANDOM.
PEOPLE ARE OF COURSE INFLUENCED BY EXTERNAL FORCES AND CHANCE EVENTS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY EACH OF US CAN WAVE THE MAGIC WAND OF FREEDOM AND DECIDE THINGS FOR OURSELVES.
THIS IS THE REASON LIBERALISM GIVES SO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO VOTERS AND CONSUMERS, AND INSTRUCTS US TO FOLLOW OUR HEART AND DO WHAT FEELS GOOD. IT IS OUR FREE THAT IMBUES THE UNIVERSE WITH MEANING, AND SINCE NO OUTSIDER CAN KNOW HOW YOU REALLY FEEL OR PREDICT YOUR CHOICES FOR SURE, YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST ANY BIG BROTHER TO LOOK AFTER YOUR INTERESTS AND DESIRES.
ATTRIBUTING FREE WILL TO HUMANS IS NOT AN ETHICAL JUDGMENT - IT PURPORTS TO BE A FACTUAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD. Although this so-called factual description might have made sense back in the days of John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Jefferson, it does not sit well with the latest findings of the life sciences. The contradiction between free will and contemporary science is the elephant in the laboratory, whom many prefer not to see as they peer into their microscopes and fMRI scanners.
