Robert Sapolsky / 萨波斯基

Robert Sapolsky appears in EP256 AI时代，“自由意志”还存在吗？ as the strongest no-free-will voice discussed by [[TuMotuo|土摩托]]. The episode presents his argument as a causal-chain view: criminal behavior, addiction, temperament, and opportunity are shaped by birth, genes, family, education, poverty, nutrition, social unfairness, and many other factors outside a person’s choosing.

The source does not fully accept Sapolsky’s conclusion that there is absolutely no [[FreeWill|free will]]. It uses his position to sharpen Moral Responsibility Under Determinism / 决定论下的道德责任: punishment, justice, and social policy should take causes seriously rather than treating every harmful act as proof of an isolated bad will.
