We Already Constrain Without Blame Routinely

Society already constrains people to protect others without invoking blame, intent, or retribution—keeping a child with a cold home from kindergarten, grounding an antihistamine-taking pilot from flying—so the no-free-will model of constraint without moralizing is not radical; we simply fail to recognize these as domains where we no longer believe in free will.
