> In a world without free will "care and education" don't matter.

The fact that care and education cause change in the behavior has nothing to do with any "freedom" as in "free will"

If you don't have free will there's no change in behavior. You have the same predetermined behavior you'd have all along - the care is incidental, would have happened or not happened anyway.

No free will == deterministic universe. Everything that is to happen can't change, and is already "schedulled" in a causuality cascade from billions of years ago.

If you don't have free will, you can't also decide to have "care and education" or not. Whether you will have them or not have them is already a done deal.

This is correct, but this does not mean that, say, education is useless. It is just predetermined whether we give education or not.
