You so misrepresented Sam Harris and his interpretation of neuroscience.
You so shamelessly concluded he believes in luck by twisting his sentence.
Sam Harris never claimed determinism of human behavior but surely attacked free will. I think anyone having scientific temper does not believe in free will.
Not having free will does not necessarily mean determinism.
Psychopaths are of course not responsible for their behaviour. That does not mean they should not be locked. Actually psychopaths are the least responsible for their behaviour having inability to feel emotions which is an effective mechanism in us to prevent us from committing horrible acts.
Though we are not free to choose and are not fully responsible for our behaviour, we still are conscious, sentient beings who understand what is right and what is wrong. We understand how other people might feel and may not want to harm other people out of empathy.
Out of free will or determinism, we do possess abilities to work for betterment of human condition and understanding that human behaviour is regulated by many biological factors is the first step towards it.
Saying that having no free will would make us irresponsible is similar to creationists saying believing in evolution will make us cruel and inhuman.
Now please don't say you are creationist too.
