The Driver You Didn't Know Was Driving

from Mind Spectrum Hosted by The Cognitive Lab

You didn’t choose to read this sentence. Your brain decided 7 seconds before you knew it. Scientists can now predict your choices before you’re even aware you’re making them. So who’s actually running your life? Stage hypnotists can rewrite someone’s personality in seconds. Your brain hallucinates reality and calls it perception. And every “conscious decision” you’ve ever made? It was already made — without you. This episode breaks the illusion of free will wide open. And the truth underneath is more terrifying — and more liberating — than you think.
