So basically what Sam Harris said back in 2012?

Scientist concludes highly philosophical discussion years and years after it's already been discussed in depth and studied at length.

But they're a scientist! That means it's news.

And Jesus Christ.

This means accepting that a man who shoots into a crowd has no more control over his fate than the victims who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It means treating drunk drivers who barrel into pedestrians just like drivers who suffer a sudden heart attack and veer out of their lane.

Is this written by someone in high school?
