blameworthiness

It’s a weird legal meme that immutable characteristics should somehow be treated differently for the purposes of moral blameworthiness.

When your model of blameworthiness says that every possible choice is wrong, your model is wrong.

The mistake you and others who argue against free will make, is that you assume moral blameworthiness necessarily entails punishment.

I'm pointing out that if you confuse causation with blameworthiness, you can trace blame back to depression and genetics.

Going further, I feel like fabricating a police report to some degree comes with a presumption of moral blameworthiness.

And the comment they replied to I think was clearly about the blameworthiness of the bad actor.

Blame, whether or legal or moral, isn't zero (or fixed) sum; greater blameworthiness for one party need not be offset by lesser for another.

I'm not saying that you should make the mistake of confusing causation with blameworthiness!

An action's legality and blameworthiness are completely separate things.

You seem to be conflating blameworthiness and predictability.

If you are running down hill towards a cliff then saying that adding a cart to speed up the process doesn't give the cart moral blameworthiness is an unhelpful observation.

Culpability “refers to the blameworthiness of the accused,” according to the definition provided by USLegal.

In the civil legal context, "responsibility" implies blameworthiness and liability arising out of a duty of care and a breach of the duty.

Building on moral responsibility, we finally reach moral blameworthiness, which allows us to "cast those who play games" one way or the other, or reserve judgement.

Your statements that morally blameworthiness and badness are "[n]ot the same thing...[a]t all" and that we should "[n]ever qualify the person, only the deed" make me think your moral framework is likely not linked to millennia of thought in this area from Socrates on down, so it's unlikely we will get anywhere and should "agree to disagree."
