Free Will Quote of the Moment
"This is the big one. The
notion that we have free will -- the
ability to exercise conscious
control over our actions and
decisions -- is deeply ingrained in
us... We all have a sense of
agency -- the conviction that even
though we did one thing, we could
have done another, and that at any
given moment we have free choice of
any number of actions. Yet it
seems that this is an elaborate
illusion created by your brain.
The conclusion is inescapable.
We really are deluded." -Graham Lawton, Deputy Editor of New
Scientist weekly
