My wife thinks that determinism causes you to 'give up' so you don't fight against injustice. I, being a determinist, am obviously annoyed by this characterization. I would say that I am just as enthused to do things; I just wouldn't attribute the enthusiasm to some mystical will that conjures it from nothing.
