Does Free Will Exist? Your Brain Decides Before You Do
from Divergent Files · host Divergent Files
Does free will actually exist? In this episode of Divergent Files, we look at the science and philosophy behind one of the oldest human questions: are you really making your own choices? From Benjamin Libet’s famous experiments and brain scans that can reveal information about a decision before conscious awareness, to split-brain research, determinism, predestination, and the deeper question of what “you” actually means — this episode follows the free will debate wherever it leads. If your brain starts making a choice before you know it, who exactly is doing the choosing?
