This lesson applies even more to many of the questions we have about free will, which is why it is important for neuroscientists and philosophers to work together on these issues.

The definition of "lie" is the same that Thomas Aquinas gave! Amazing! Thank you very much. I will show this video to my students.

Succinctly put, really enjoyed following the thought process from the beginning to the end.
