Telling people, based on our scientific knowledge of physics, neurology, and behavior, that our actions are predetermined rather than dictated by some ghost in our brains, and then sussing out the consequences of that conclusion and applying them to society?Of course my answer is b).

I mean to say, I know perfectly well that I've got, roughly speaking, half the amount of brain a normal bloke ought to possess.
