Are You Just a Program? Free Will, Neuroscience & The Algorithm Explained | goodsugar 273
from goodsugar
In this episode of the goodsugar podcast, Ralph Sutton and Marcus Antebi dive into one of the biggest questions in psychology and philosophy: do we actually have free will, or are our decisions shaped by our past, our environment, and our biology? They break down how anxiety affects the brain, how stress can shut down logical thinking, and why so many people feel stuck in reactive patterns instead of making intentional decisions. The conversation explores the difference between the logical brain and the emotional brain, and how mindfulness, awareness, and mental health practices can help you regain control. They also get into real-world topics like social media addiction, authenticity, personal growth, self improvement, and the pressure to chase algorithms instead of building something meaningful. It’s a mix of mental health insights, neuroscience concepts, and honest conversation about how people actually live and think today. If you’re interested in anxiety, overthinking, decision making, self awareness, or understanding how your brain works under stress, this episode will hit. TEXT us your questions at 718-306-3906!
