Free will ‘an illusion’ of the brain ‘tricking’ itself, scientists say

FREE will may just be an illusion created by our brains, scientists may have proved.

Humans are convinced that they make conscious choices as they live their lives, but instead scientists say it may be that the brain just convinces itself that it made a free choice from the available options after the decision is made, says a report in the journal Psychological Science.

In my opinion these scientists should be directed to investigate Bubblecarian Will before they produce these nonsense papers on “free will”.

Wouldn’t most half-reflective individuals that have had any experience of life and the workings of their inner whatever get an idea the thing is a collection of tricks, and illusions (of sorts), sorta devices that do the job. And too that the self-reporting part is a brief after a lot of the work done. Who entirely trusts it anyway. Doesn’t half of everything work as well as it does by limiting decisions (requiring will), like the mind’s greatly inhibitory in operation (extends more broadly to the social feld too).

Who inflates will anyway. People talk about the weather for good reason.

But i’m old an jaded.
