Free Will: Now You Have It, Now You Don’t
By DENNIS OVERBYE
Quote:
Experiments suggest that the conscious choice is an illusion, but some
philosophers and physicists choose to disagree.
BTW: Toward the end of the article the author quotes Dr. Libet who in turn quotes the writer Issac Bashevis Singer. The quote by Bashevis is profound in its own right but I have more fun with his following quote.
“We have to believe in free will. We have no choice.”
