Is The Joker Legally Insane?

I love the Because Science show from the Nerdist channel. I love the way Kyle Hill explains science concepts using sci-fi, fantasy, video games, and comics - you know stuff that I love. In his latest video, he uses law and psychology to ask the question: Is the Joker really insane?



Truth is many other YouTube shows have also tackled this topic and came to the same conclusion. But this particular episode does something different than just ask "Is the Joker is responsible for his crimes?"  but goes further in asking "Is anyone responsible for their actions, if no one has free will?"  Very interesting. Kyle Hill agrees with a growing number of scientist who disagree with the idea that people have free will because so little (if any) of our lives are determined by our choices.

What really amazed me was the fact that while an atheist, godless perspective can raise such questions and even recognize that there is a problem and consider that the implication of such things,  but it can not even begin to answer anything or offer any help.
