I have spent many years of my research life talking about how people have limited agency - that we make choices & live lives in specific conditions in which we have little control. This is a fundamental starting point for sociologists. But after my friend finished speaking, I reminded him: that's a great analogy, but there are important differences. The laws of physics do not care for considered action. Molecules, atoms, gravity, force - these are not moral actors. But we are.
