Juma, if we have dualism, then everything changes. With dualism, maybe we can somehow peer deep inside someone's soul and see what the true intention was. If it does not align with the biological response, then no, the person should not be accountable for the action made. And maybe we can correct the person's biology so that it responds to the soul appropriately, seriously. But if all we have is a body that does whatever it does, then we don't really have a choice to hold that person accountable.
If the behavior is inconsistent with how that person normally functions, we put them in a psych ward. But if that person commits a crime that needed some thought and time to execute like dealing drugs or stealing, then it would be safer to say that it isn't a "glitch" in the person's system, and we try to change the behavior with jail.
Still not commenting my post.
Ya can't say I didn't try.
