Yeah I'm into a healthy mixture of free will and something predetermined, you can call that (the predetermined part) genes and it suffices to my mind just as much as just about anything else, i.e. predestination, synchronicity, etc. I think the world is in a pretty strange place so we've lost our instinctual ethics to a large degree. The environment we were built to be ethical in has changed so rapidly that its a very difficult question. In fact, I don't think ethics would even be an issue in a more 'natural' (I know the risk in bringing up this word) environment. I think that to figure out what our collective ethics should be as humans we need to figure out what our common goals are as a species. The pursuit of wealth, politics, and the loss of the true definition of wealth have twisted our ethics into a confusing mess of greed.
