Do You Have Free Will?

from Polymath · host Daniel Aaron Levy

If God is real, would He be able to tell with 100% accuracy what you will do in exactly ten years' time? Is your future behaviour already all mapped out by the unconscious machinations of your brain? And where in the brain might free will come from? You can choose to do what you want; but you can't choose what you want. Can a robot truly choose what they want? Can a cat? What about a worm?On today's episode, we'll be exploring the vast scientific and philosophical debate about whether humans have free will. The free will debate is not just confined to philosophy: it's at the forefront of psychology as well. In this episode, we'll be integrating philosophy, psychology, neurobiology, and neuroanatomy to give you all the insight and perspective you need to decide your stance.Sit back, prepare for an existential crisis, and enjoy!
