Always loves the discussion and videos about free will because its instantly enveloped in the thesis. Are you arguing you have free will because you do, or are you arguing you have free will because you were supposed to?

I am reading 'Determined' by Sopolsky, hoping it will shed more light on the argument against free will. This is a fascinating topic. Whats most interesting is that there are experiments that show there are processes going on in the brain BEFORE you consciously make a decision. So what does this mean? What caused the brain to act in the first place?
Nice video, I plan to watch your other videos as well.
