The fact that we have no "free will" and that there's always a reason for our actions at the end of the day doesn't constitute useful advice for automata like us trying to do better in the world nonetheless.

Except maybe in how we think about justice perhaps. But that's not useful now.

This is a big one.

Income and wealth inequality is another one.

The only reason why someone should have more than someone else is to incentivize to increase the total cake. But you probably can redistribute far more without reducing the total cake too much.
